but does it work?
if it does its job then yeah it looks ok. but if there isnt a noticeable drop in temps then imo it would look better as standard!

Dont look too bad... Poss if the gap was slightly less, it wouldnt be so noticable, but still let out the heat...

When Rod feels he needs lifters to cool his engine I my be convinced but for now I think they ruin the looks

The brake discs are on the right way mate.They dont go by the way the grooves face,there correct way is determined by the way the 'Fins' go on the inside(between each face)
