    Yeah - hopefully throw some cash in there because the valve cover is the hardest thing to bead blast.

    It will have to wait a few weeks though - I have a very busy schedule. This weekend is welding exhaust friday for englishtown on saturday and trenton nj meet on sunday.

    Obviously compensation would be in order...and I'd only ship it to you when you have enough free time. but I just have to see about being carless for a period of time....maybe I can get another one..uh valve cover not car

    Looks good Jon. How about milling off all the unnecessary stuff on the cover?

    Thought about it - maybe I will try one that I am not using. Only issue with it is the casting is such crap that there are air pockets in it! There are areas that have nasty cavities. I don't think this is aluminum actually - i think it's some other alloy. I dropped my oil filter housing into our hot tank and it had murky grey bubbles pouring from it reacting to the chemical. I put the valve cover in... nothing.
