Sprucing up under the hood
I'm getting ready to clean things up under the hood. Got a new header, some Neon injectors and a new valve cover fresh from the powdercoater.

$75.00 for the new cover and another $75.00 for the powder coating. "Lake blue texture" was a special order coating but it looks great on the Gunmetal blue Cherokee. I bought a new cover so I could swap them the same day otherwise the engine would have been apart for a week and a half.

looks great, my valve cover is starting to chip and I was planning on replacing it, now I know what I am going to do. I would love to see a pic when you get it installed.

I installed the valve cover and the Neon injectors the other night. The cover looks good, but now it shows just how much else I need to clean up! THe original cover gasket was leaking and I thought I would start fixing the leaks from the top down. I will post pics later but remember that this was just the first step in getting the engine compartment tidied up. I still need to degrease the sides and bottom to see where the other leaks are. I know the oil filter adapter is seeping and probably the oil pan gasket too.

To the OP: I can't say that I'm crazy about the color, but I love the texture and how clean it all looks. It looks like it just came from the manufacturer. It'll look great on your engine.
