Thanks....Just turned 29K and alot of blood, sweat and skinned knuckles. Pic's like these are what makes the C-4 clam shell special. BTW, the GS-C's have 3K miles on them. Trying to keep the Ruby bone stock is getting very difficult.

They are not polished. I just use a spray bottle of aluminum wheel cleaner along with a toothbrush to scrub with.
Then rinse it with another spray bottle of water, and blot it dry with plenty of paper towels.

I think the glare in the picture is making it look a little more polished than it is.

TO everyone: Were the parts left on the car or removed (at least the parts that are removal)?

Trying to increase the L-98 showing over the Gen2.

Just your plain ol' poked, stroked, and force-fed L-98.

Tell me about your valve covers. Are they two piece or are the screws on top just for looks?

Do all 93 have the serpentine belt on upside down. I've seen this at the car show as well.

Here is a photo of my stock 89 engine. The Rustoleum Hi Temp silver paint really makes the engine shine when surrounded by black metal and plastic.

They changed during the production year to a single sided belt. That is one of the quickest way to determine if you have an early or late 93 when asked while getting replacement parts.
