Default Engine Clean Up

Well for the last couple of weeks I have been attaching my engine with new parts, wrenches & rattle cans. Just thought I would share some photos. Still working on passenger side, drivers side is starting to look OK.



Hope to be back on the road by the end of the week waiting on a new IAC connector.

That looks great Any way to touch up the valve covers without removing them? I know it's easier with them off for sure but I hate to take valve covers off THAT DON'T LEAK. I have the correct paint for mine but haven't tackled it yet. Anyone done the valve covers without removing them?

Great start, it takes alot of work on the old L98's but the results can be outstanding.
