    Frequently Asked Questions

    What counts as “engine dress up” on a 12-valve?

    Billet caps (oil, brake), valve covers, tappet/front covers, freeze plugs, and clean CCV routing—items that improve appearance and serviceability.

    Will 1989–2002 “universal” billet parts fit my 1989–1993?

    Many do, but always check the listing notes and your truck’s year; some covers and hardware differ.

    Is a catch can or extra breather worth it?

    Yes—reduces crankcase pressure and oil mist, keeping the bay tidy and gaskets happier.

    Do I need a KDP plate for a dress-up build?

    It’s smart insurance while you’re in the front cover—cheap prevention against major damage.

    Any tips for a leak-free tappet cover install?

    Prep the surface carefully, use the correct sealant/gasket, and follow torque sequence/specs.
