Cork,
Now I know why you used red on the valve covers - they match the pan :D

Only kidding - So what's next? You have the dreaded powder coating disease :lol:

i'll take 5hp that doesn't hurt fuel economy, idle, helps gas milage, and reduces strain on parts as well as a host of other good things...
