October 24, 200519 yr comment_142778 I got those aluminum bolt caps in blue and put them on the strut mtg. bolts to dress them up a bit. Also got a set of matching blue wires. Used blue tie-wraps to bundle my harness together at the appropriate tie-points. Polished any billet or aluminum parts including the manifold and valve cover. Have the chrome allen bolt kit from MSA for the cover also.

October 24, 200519 yr Author comment_142786 Your looks nice & clean, but mine has fuel injection stuff all over, a fan shroud, emmissions stuff, etc. I prefer the cleaner look of the nuts & bolts showing (nicely polished or shiney) to the bolt covers. I'll have to start with polishing the valve cover, and go from there.

October 24, 200519 yr comment_142793 TomoHawk, What about doing what the big$ cars do, make a cover and bolt it over the engine-a sort of "Pre-hood" if you will. Make it look like some bodacious intake manifold!!Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17711-engine-detailing-goodies/#findComment-142793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
