has anyone ever thought of making clear valve covers for our cars ? Maybe out of some type of acrylic matieral? No clue what it would be made out of, I'm not expert. Just think it would be really cool.

They would only be clear ,until you started the engine the first time .
Once the oil pressure came up , I doubt you could see a lot .

I've seen and heard of clear valve covers for most of the common v8 pushrod engines. As already said once the motor is started you can't see anything, an overhead valve motor would be worse as the oil the top end more.
