Sneak peak PC Valve Covers - ***NEW PICS***

My passegner side valve cover gasket was leaking. So i figured why not ask Exotic-Metal55 to power coat a spare set he had lying around. He was kind enough to prep and powder coat them for me. Thank you Exotic!
Even though you cant see them with the front engine cover, they will match my surge tanks.

Sorry for ****ty phone camera pics

Well if you ever come across a set let me know. I'd definitely pay a decent amount to only have the car down for 30 mins instead of 4 days to PC tanks.

Engine is looking good as always shardul
