I have found you can just twist those red/blue/yellow covers off with a pair of side-cutters. I then use them and cover with shrink-tube, works and looks great. Sorry to hear about your engine. I too had to make a "plan change" on finishing up my engine just yesterday as a result of not being on the same page with my builder. Nothing as catastrophic as your ordeal, but a little heartburn nonetheless. Good luck with it.

Hey, good idea with the nylon covers, I'll give it a shot. You have engine grief too, huh? Don't let it get you sidetracked, plow ahead and get that car done!
