I checked mine already, but they are not as bad as yours. But I washed it anyways. My friends thought that I'm crazy. The bad thing is these bolts are easily stripped......... And also since I opened it, I found out that my valve cover is leaking. I think I told you about this a while back Andy. LOL you just reminded me about it.

Wow. Mine looked about the same when I first checked it around 25K miles. After changing to the K&N's I checked it again, around 15K miles after that and it did not look as bad. Most likely because I live in OC and pretty much drive the car in the city or the freeway.
