Sweet Bronco!!

And man did you yank that motor quick, I guess I'm slow.

yoterr

use stock gasket for the pacesetter, alot of people's leak cuz of the crappy gasket they use, and they also corrode fast, so if getting it coated is an option ide do so, sweet deal, have fun!!

movin along prety good i see! hope all goes well, and i had the same prob with my valve cover when i painted it lol

looks like you had good parts to start with. I took my valve cover to the machine shop and had them run it in their automated parts washer. They said they had to run it through 3 or 4 times to get it clean. The oxidation and pitting where horrible. I had to wire wheel it one evening to remove all of the corrosion. Then took it to the powder coater and $20 later it is a beautiful glossy signal blue.

I like the Black and White but can I make a suggestion with out you getting offended? The lettering you should take the paint off and bring it back to metal so it stands out like this.

86blue4runner

^^ yeah im gonna do that to mine. Btw good looking cover. well boys shes all done, and running. it took a lot of time, money, frustration, and help. i cant start to thank everyone who helped enough. well on to the pictures...

86blue4runner

haha my bad, well shes running real good, i havent gotten on her to hard yet. gonna give her a decent break in period for i really romp on it. but so far smooth and i can already tell a power increase.
