Where i can find oil cap in V8 OHV

[RudyOLB]

Someone know where is oil cap in V8 OHV engine? Because I'm blind.

[Red Dot Games]

on one of head covers

You might want to make it a bit more graphically obvious. It's incredibly easy to miss, particularly since there's no sense given the lack of anything leading to oil beneath the headcover. It really blends in well with the rusty headcover, and is so small to boot.

lime green oil caps!

Took me a while, but I found it.
Left header cap (sliver/red in color above where the pistons would be).

Usually on engines, oil caps have a different color compared to the head cover so they are easy to spot, or a very different shape.
You may want to implement that in the game, say a yellow cap on a black header for an example.

Or if you are methodical and don't want to just recolor it, add some contrast text which is usually "Check manual for bla bla bla" thats on some caps.

On literally every vehicle I've ever owned in my entire life, the valve cover was always black, and the oil fill cap was always black. In the real world, you would indeed need to be clinically blind not to see them. I did have trouble locating one in game on one of the engines though. I don't remember which one, but eventually found it. It was using Predator camo.

I lold when you said predator camo

I know what the problem is, your all not use to the old USA V-8 engines, maybe not even seen one untill now. Your use to this sticking out of the modern 4 or 6 cyclender engine oil filler..

so far I have only seen 2 or 3 cars represent old Amercain cars from 69 to 72, so they are going to be the old V-8's. If your not sure on this, look up Muscle cars out of the 69 to 72's.

old V-8's can be found on youtube, as well as dyno faluers on these engins..

These engines will have carbs, push rods, and other cool, but old parts.

Oil caps are directly on the rocker arm cover, they had always been there on the real engine.

The game version of the old V-8 is really a good job of representation, I reconize the design so if you want some more infomation out of personal knowledge..

to Look up for pics, youtube, infomation, maybe even parts for "just to see for your self" here are the common engines to look up...

Chevy V-8: 265, 283, 307, 302, 327, 305, 350, 400

Ford windsor V-8: 221, 255, 260, 289, 302, 351

Ford Cleveland V-8: 351, 400,

Chrysler V-8: 290, 318, 360, 401

Sorry but in real cars, the oil caps dont stand out too much.

On a V6, V8, V10, or V12 the oil fill cap can be found on either the right hand or left hand valve cover. On many older cars the filler cap sat almost flush with the cover and often times was the same color as the cover.

The place of the filler cap would differ depending upon manufacture or model. Sometimes it would be found at the rear of the valve cover. Other times the front and sometimes in the center of the cover. The reason for this variation can simiply be the year differnece or the option istalled under the hood.

Durring the muscle car era of the 60s and early 70s manufactures installed aluminum/chrome valve covers often with matching oil filler caps. What the game does is a good representation of what those cars had in real life.

In the mid 2000s yellow started to become the standard color for the oil filler cap. As in the past this does not apply to all manufatures or across all models offered by a manufature.

In my car I have a v8 ohv type engine and there the oilcap has the same shiny alu finish as the head cover.

But if you don't know nothing about an engine different parts can be hard to find.

[Nomans1971]

Barn find cars are always missing oil filler cap and you cant purchase a new one in game, so pretty much game over to get car running.

On early GM small block v8s the oil fill assembly was attached to the intake manifold. I'm not sure on the year, but I think it was 68 or 69 that the oil cap moved to the valve cover.

I haven't heard them called head covers before. I might have heard them called a rocker box on top gear or something once.
