Two thumbs up. Great call on the blue flames and clean job on the valve cover.

Yeah, i figured, i want to do mine, but i have to wait till i can have the car out of commision for about a week, because i want the entire block done in silver/gray. Basically so it looks brand new. But that will probably be next summer when i give the motor some new guts.

yea when you swap it u are better off gettin the gasket too. that will look good. the sand blasting suck though cause its powdercoated on there its tough to get off u might be better just sanding it down since u are goin with a dark color.
