Excellent, thanks. I've only got one oven so I'll be avoiding that. I'm thinking tomorrow when it's warm (above freezing... go figure) I'll take the valve cover to the coin wash and blast it out with the rip-your-arm-off pressure there.
First thought seeing that pic was "let's see your K&N cone filter do this"

Mine was tweaked too, so I lightly bolted it to a spare head I had and left it overnight. It straightened out pretty good. No leaks so far.

Yeah. I don't think she can stand on it now. I did the specter thing. The farm paint held up well. It was done back in 09. This was this summer.
