First of the stay-cool bits for the heads arrived. Billet upper valve covers which are a bit heftier than the OEM items and also utilize a newer style captured gasket instead of the old style sandwich gaskets that are known to leak big time. These are available from the host here. The lower valve covers were produced separately; had the machinist (Mark) create a custom file for a flat top so as to better accept heat sinks welded on. Items are from http://hargettprecision.com/







Finished the heavy cleaning of the case - the amount of grime that continued to loosen and come off was impressive.
