K20 valve cover...almost. lol
I decided to move my focus on cleaning up the engine bay. Cause lets face it my engine bay looks like crap. lol. So I have decided to do a wire tuck in the engine. Here is the first step of my long drawn out project. enjoy.
Ill keep you posted as the project progresses.

Rep Power: 273 I had a spare valve cover from my motor build so I used that one. no I reused the gasket that was on the cover. Its just a rubber gasket. It really does not get that messed up. just pull it off before you paint the cover and put it back on.
