I was up late last night surfing Ebay and came across these cast aluminum valve covers that have spring oilers cast right into the valve cover. I was wondering if anyone knows what brand there are??

My only thought was most of the valve spring oilers I've seen spray downward and not sideways.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

I've got hat built into a subaru ea82.
pressure relief open means too much heat, sprays through holes on a tiny tube right on the valve springs.
the valve cover idea is clever.. but where to determine when to function them? via temps or pressure... all times would be silly. heat helps pump the oil in the first place...hardly ever a line drawn to need it, but can happen rarely.Previously boxer3main
