Passenger side valve cover reinstalled along with new plugs. Drivers side removed and cleaned and painted with black crinkle paint. Also replacing the lower vent hose from the valve cover to the oil separator. There was a hole in it from rubbing on the fuel rail.

Yes an old car show tip. Spray it with tire wet after you shut it off and let it sit. When it dries you have a nice looking engine bay. I also cleaned it first before I did this. The picture was taken a few minutes ago after it dried and a 120 mile round trip.
