Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 12v valve cover powdered

before, it should make another 15HP now lol

i am in the process of redoing it right now.

it kinda got messed up when my fuel return line sprung a leak and i used some degreaser to clean the engine up, man that stuf was powerful. i guess i should have taken it off. oh lesson well learned

Ed: I know what you mean about the engine degreaser. I used about 3 cans of Gunk 'Engine Brite' and a scrub brush on my '94 shortly after I bought it.



It looks like I sandblasted every little part under the hood. I won't do that again. Using just the degreaser without the brush would have been fine...

I worked on the H. P. at first, I now have all that I need to pull my trailer and to play with. At the present I am cleaning-up the engine bay and when that is done I will paint the body. The interior has already been done. Here are a few pictures of the unfinished engine bay.

Bob - The blue covers look great.



Bruce - OMG! Is all that stuff chromed or polished? What did you use for the radiator hose? How long did it take you to do all that? Any trophies yet?

 

[1dslram]

It is all chromed. The engine is just now nearing completion, then the exterior is in bad need of paint. I will have it painted 2 tone silver and burgandy. The radiator hose is CoolFlex stainless steel chromed upper and lower hoses. I am just getting the engine back together and have added a Snow Boost Cooler and a 3 gal. tank where the drivers side battery was.

dsl - what kind of bolts/fasteners did you use on the valve covers, intake air horn, etc?

 

[1dslram]

The fastener screw stock is the same as our grade 8 but in metric, the nuts are hexwasher head nuts chromed and the heads are all aluminum billet turned and chromed. Bob there were a couple of trucks at Hunter Dodge today with your cap covers and battery hold downs etc. and all I can say is all of your stuff is first class.
