I have installed a few more items on the engine. My frontpipe is on the way finally. I’m still waiting on the manifold to buy some other parts. I’ve been working on mounting the FMIC, even without the crash bar. Obviously, the kit hasn’t been released.
I finished my valve cover. I never welded aluminum before, and I’m doing MIG welding. The spool gun is a little different, but it got the job done. I filled the hole in the rear and sanded that down, and then I welded on some -10AN male bungs. I finished the valve cover in VHT wrinkle red. It litterally looks like wrinkled paint like a Shar Pei of paints. It isn’t a crinkle or crumble effect, but the texture looks good, especially from a distance. It didn’t turn out perfectly even, but overall, it saved me $400+, and it looks better than the dirty, silver, valve cover. I’ll add some pics of it assembled later this week.
