Exactly sblake01. He must have missed my last response

So if I take of the valve cover and their is dirt in it how do I clean it and what could it do to my Z if anything?

Like 240ZX said, just change your oil and filter and you should be okay unless the car has been in and off-road race.

Just get a oil filler cap before u run the car again, and if u cant get one immediately, just cover it with sometihng.. I dont know how strong the vaccum is but maybe a strong rubberband an tinfoil ( not syraan rap cuz it might melt) just a thought

my bad...brain fart on it being a 280.....

Agemeansnothing.....how old are you? if you're young it is ok...it'd be easier writing replies to you if we knew how old you were.

He's 12! And his writing skills are better that a lot of us old farts! In time his automotive skills will catch up.
