I'm in the market for a brand new oil billet cap.

 

 

I know you had a *beep* of a time with the cap on your BA, but weren't the issues fixed on the FG? (they no longer disintegrate and fall into the rocker cover)

Okay so got this sometime in last week or so but only got a round to putting it on today (wanted to do it whilst the engine was cold).

 

The product looks well made in real-life.  Solid CNC billet.  Didn't have to swap the O-ring seal from the OEM cap onto the billet oil cap because it came with one. 

 

Screwing it on - no issues with the thread - went on easily.  Seemed to come off okay as well.

 

Will let you know how it goes if any issues crop up with it - but looks okay so far.

 

Here are some close up pics.

In my opinion the quality of the CNC was top job - well polished finish and no sharp edges to cut yourself on.

 

Here's what it looked like installed in my engine bay.
