Engine cleaning
by Matt on February 20, 2010
Today was another cleaning day. I pulled the valve covers and installed the new painted ones with new gaskets. I put a dab of sealer in each corner and in the gasket valley. In addition to the valve cover gaskets I also replaced the rear cam plugs. The only ones were leaking very badly.
I disassembeled a lot of the wiring and accessories on the motor and cleaned them. Coil packs, spider hose, f-hose, connectors, etc. I painted some random pieces too. I installed a new red F-hose and cleaned up oil feed lines.
The motor looks a lot prettier.
