RE: substitute oil caps

["Henrik Hasager Johansen" <hjohansen@domain.elided>]

Hi Joe,

With regards to Alfa Valdez's, you know the ones that spew oil all over
the engine bay, whether it's due to loosing the filler cap or other more
or less natural causes, I found that changing the hood is the easiest
thing :-)

My Spider spewed oil all over due to a lot of reasons, none of which I
shall mention here, but I did install a new engine. The hood was seeping
oil, even after 10 under hood cleanings and wipings, it kept seeping
oil. Finally I got tired of having oil streaks and when I had it
refurbished anyway (and had a spare hood) the choice was easy.

Congrats on your new black oil filler cap.

Just my 2 xre

BTW, I expect to be fully Alfa operational mid next week, as I just got
the word from my transatlantic shipper that my container is
arriving..... YEAHHHH

Note:  If/when YOU blow oil all over your Spider's engine compartment, a

seemingly infinite supply of oil will get under the support frame of
your
hood (bonnet) and will seep around the front of your hood like chewing
tobacco from a toothless geezer's lip, every time you drive the car.
The
third trip to the car wash, I finally figured out that you have to wash
under the entire frame, not just the part at the front of the hood.
You'll
see, when your time comes!

Cheers,
Joe
