What did you paint that valve cover and intake manifold with? Looks great.

Thanks man, primed them then used this and left them in the sun all day:

Some people have talked about this stuff flaking off after a while, if that happens I'll have them powder coated.

Over 400 miles on engine, heat shield and shock tower installed now that I know there's no leaks or anything.

9:1 compression ratio, they discontinued the lower CR in 84mm.

Indeed, MS2 wasn't quite in vogue when I was working on engine management.
