DON'T DO A COVER! Get the chrome inner primary and do it right, not that much $$$ or time...and you can easily do it yourself, or leave it as is! JMHO

Think of it as a investment. As stated earlier, the first time you see a cover, then look at yours, you'll know why. If you have a Fastenal, or Lowes around, and have a buffer, you can polish your own stainless fasteners as well. Takes time, but what a feeling!

Lowers gearing(3%),makes it easier to move from a stop and lets you use 6th gear a little earlier

No problem at all with a manual, tools, and common sense. You need to buy, or make, a primary locking bar. You may have to press your new IPB into the cover, but that ain't a problem either. Don't let any of this scare you, it ain't nuttin.

but yes you're right. It's not a difficult job at all. As stated you'll need the locking bar, either prefabbed or homemade doesn't matter. they do the same thing. Most just cut a block of wood for this.

that compensator bolt though can be a biatch to get off at 140ft lbs. Make sure you have a good torque wrench and a service manual.

I won't care of you chrome it either.

I may think less if you use one of those crap covers.

only I WILL think less if you use a cover. Do it right the first time or don't do it.
