Default Started Valve Cover Swap Today

Finally started this long delayed project.

Here's a before:




Not bad for 16 years and 108K miles. Had a few paint chips from the old cover fall in when we removed them.






We thought we were gonna get away with just budging the alt a little but we had to move it all the way out of the way.



Here's the first cover on.



And the other side.



Going to try to finish up on Saturday morning. I'll post the finished product then.
