How did you do the valve cover?
Thanks for the kind words--I got bored while my cyl head was at the machine shop.
The ex manifolds are S2. I used Techline's Colorgard hi-temp coating--not sure yet if I'm pleased with the results--seems to be flaking off somewhat.
The cam cover is a standard late S3/S4. After bead blasting, I filled the holes for the VVT, ground away the extraneous extra boss and a couple of unused tabs. I used my 1/4 sheet sander to cut & polish the ALFA ROMEO text. The paint is Eastwood's wrinkle black--looks good but is very fragile, I'm going to redo with powder coat. The knobs I polished by chucking them in a drill and using 220 to 2000 grit. Hit them with a coat of clear to preserve shine. All other screws are SS allen type with new SS washers. I'll post a pic or two later tonite.

Paul
