    I took advantage of extra down time and a small to-do list and decided to pretty up my car's engine compartment. I replaced the OE lifter valley with a cast aluminum unit picked up on Ebay some time ago and the OE valve covers with repop Super Wildcat aluminum valve covers from Cars, Inc.
    She went from this:

    I painted the intake manifold and did some general cleaning as well. I won't be ashamed to raise the hood at car shows :D

    That really made a drastic difference, Mark. Looks great.

    Looks fantastic. Great work! I did something similar to mine, it's nice that they're such a simple engine to work on and they look great dolled up :)
