COBB Oil Cap Installation

Unwrap your new COBB Oil Cap
Temporarily install seal with the flat side down
Test fit on car by aligning bottom of cap with the appropriate receptacle and carefully turning the cap clockwise
In order to get the logo lined up the way you want, use of some shims may be necessary, place them underneath the o-ring. Adding more shims will result in the logo being more counter-clockwise than previously. The number of shims needed will vary. On our test car it fit perfectly with no shims and was quite a bit off with all three.

No Shims

Three Shims
