Mine will be here when I get home this weekend. i'll post up some photos of it. Yes you can work on the top end without removing the engine. @CTcummins24V is a typical under hood picture. But while 5 and 6 are a little hard to reach it could be worse. The only thing I have ever done on mine is change the injectors and adjust the valves. Never pulled the head but several here have. But I will say I can see much more of my engine that you can see of yours. 5 and 6 look easier on yours to get to. That is a nice looking job you have done with it, hope you get all the bugs worked out.

Well got home and to my liking the new valve cover was sitting on the porch awaiting my return. It came in a Cummins box, but looked like maybe it was reused. It had been originally stapled shut, but was taped over with the appearance of an old label. Opened it up and if look at the casting at #5 you can see the made in India cast into the cover. To the right of that is the Cummins part#. This might be a second. On the outside there is a small circle with a nick in the casting. I am happy with what I got. Maybe Cummins has some one in India making them for them or maybe not. I think anyone would be happy with it. The one thing i cant remember is if the OE come with any groove for the VC gasket. I just cant remember. This one is flat on the mating surface. 20170908_223753_resized.jpg.d209fa99bb3deeddd1d5a409174d7687.jpg20170908_224019_resized.jpg.2939c1a3dddaf5f8b9c5652f17039ba7.jpg20170908_224717_resized.jpg.49d1b4c148f1bfab96a95e9d5c328eb6.jpg20170908_224936_resized.jpg.25b04086a86a48c75b6b22bd6609800d.jpg20170908_225031_resized.jpg.dc037cb713d48e503cad594a9e1da929.jpg

Just to add, looking at the Cummins label on the box it says. Origin  IN. Assuming that means India.
