So I have been trying to clean the motor up as much as possible before it goes in, and the valve cover has been bothering me for awhile now. It has some sort of buildup on it that has been a real pain to remove, add that to all the small spaces I can't get to to clean you have a rather unattractive valve cover:
I know that this will be hidden behind that sexy beams engine cover, but it will bother me if I don't do something about it. So, very carefully i took the valve cover off(it's not like I can just order a new gasket from the parts store). Luckily everything worked out well, I got the cover off with no harm to the gasket or the plug gaskets. Now for the hard part, do I paint or powder coat?
below are some pics of the naked head.
