    they are kind of cool looking, but I don't know why I would ever want them. I'm the only one who ever sees anything under the hood of any of my vehicles and that is maybe once every 6 months

    It would be more of a novelty thing. I could see a use in racing. When the motor starts running weird, a quick look at the valve train could be helpful.

    Wasn't much oil being slung about. There is a Russian Youtube channel with voiceover by BMI Russian for English speakers called Garage 54 that does all sorts of things, mainly for training purposes,(wish I'd had an apprenticeship like that),which is well worth a look if you have not heard of it.
    https://www.youtube.com/c/Garage54ENG Click on the videos button to see what has been done. Very interesting even for the jaded.
