Look Inside a V8 Engine with a Clear Valve Cover

Ever wondered what things looked like inside an engine when it’s running? This video gives you a glimpse into the inner workings of a hot rod’s V8 engine, thanks to a special clear valve cover. What’s interesting to note is just how clean the rockers and springs look at idle. It’s only when they step on the gas that you can see the oil flowing into the head.

If you’re interested in turning your own car into a visible machine, you can find covers like these from Clear Vue Concepts, with prices ranging from $299 to $399, depending on if you’ve got a Chevy small block or big block engine. Or if you’d rather not install them on an actual car, you can always go buy one of these V8 engine models instead.
