Mike D'Silva Posted 5July, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 5July, 2021 Items back from vapour blasting. The valve covers had a lot of corrosion from, I think, the rats nest atop the motor (rat urine?) The oil tubes were replaced into the camshaft towers and new plugs installed. If you don't remove these, you are definately not getting all the crud that can accumulate. Scott930, bumble, Rob and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
