Looks bad...


Looks good I think!


The Valve cover is starting to peel, and I want to do the Idle/emission hoses..
They are as hard as rock!
I pulled off the Valve cover to do the gasket too..
The internals are IMO "stunningly" clean!




I gave the rest of the intake and FI a clean up and here is how it looked.


Its looking good, and I am pleased with my purchase!

Tomorrow I will do the Idle hoses, and check the FI pressures, now its cleaner.
