We had planned on putting this valve cover that came with the car on since getting the car but it turns out that the paint wasn't all that great and it needs longer studs. Luckily the gasket kit I got on ebay was the old style and they sent me the one for this also. So we did add a new gasket again and adjusted the valves at this point. Also found that the PVC valve fell apart and almost made it's way into the rockers. Maybe it broke then. I got a steel one like we did to the 4runner. So I cleaned up the original cover anyhow.

we made it to another event with the Brown Hornet yesterday in Windsor Locks at the NAPA. Lots of cool cars there and on the road. It was probably the first good day for weather on a weekend this April.

you could take that red one and shoot it with black krinkle paint VHT. That’s what I did.

I'd definitely like to add that later style valve cover, eventually. It has the rubber seal like a 22RE!
