I've always wondered if they would get cloudy or if they would get a film of dried oil on them after a while so that you couldn't see through them.

Never seen that happen.I had some friends who also had them.I liked that you could take a look at the valvetrain very easily.Of course you don't want to over tighten them.I used studs with a wing type washer that is used on stock BBCs to distribute the load.

I remember seeing them slightly discolored, streaked or stained inside on friends race cars many years ago. Might have been due to the brand of oil they were using. No way of knowing why for sure. They were still mostly transparent and not cloudy though.
