These look fantastic! How tall are the currently and what is the expected height on newer parts?
The current height is 1.3 inches above the valve cover measured at the top of flange where the oil cap sits. The new caps are 1 inch.
The 1.3 height has been proven to clear the hood on the 1g, 2g and 4g63 powered EVO's.

Look nice, do you have any pictures of it installed on a valve cover?
the only problem i see with that is that there isn't a baffle under the oil cap so you might be pushing a little more oil than with the other set up. i might be wrong but has it been tested. it does look pretty cool though
Why does the installed one in your photo only have one outlet and these have two? Old design?
I'm also curious about your homemade CNC!
Put me down as #3 that wants to know about this.
Come on Hal... annie up. Give us the goods on this homemade CNC machine.
Ok
It's a bench top mill from harbor freight.
All of the lead screws were replaced with ball screws and the cranks replaced with stepper motors (2000 steps per rpm) reduced for a final drive of 6:1
Resolution works out to be roughly 2000 steps per mm
It uses Mach3 mill running on the pc and drives the steppers thru a geko 4 axis interface
The pc controls the table (x/y axis), the tool (z axis and rpm) along with an optional rotory table (a axis)
The conversion was all done by me (motor mounts, ball screw adaptation, etc)
In addition I also converted my bench top lathe to CNC which was a piece of cake compared to the mill.
These days you can buy turn key kits for this conversion.
