This one's for you, Gord :D

I got the small valve cover filter installed at the end of the hose... cause that other end at the cover itself SIMPLY WASN'T MOVING. That, and the nipple was much larger than the rubber inlet on the filter. So, necessity dictates we compromise :)
Next up are the new spark plug wires (8mm Motorcraft direct replacements) to appease the dealer as they say a miss I've been having is in the wires, and my BIG BIG project - painting the stock valve cover with high-heat paint.

I refuse to really clean it till April, cause it'll be that bad again inside of a day.

Not bad, Adam. That'll look a lot better with the valve cover painted. What color are you going for? Might be cool to paint your strut bar the same color as the valve cover when you do it, I painted mine the same color as my intake.

Thanks boys :D
Going to paint it red, Steve. Either Fire Engine Red, or a slightly darker red if I can find one. High-heat paint on that eh?
Anyone got a paint part number / name for a suitable product? :D

Something to think about with the red paint though, different shades of red can look really bad together. Like if it's brighter or darker than the body color, it could end up looking bad.
