Got another project done!
« on: May, 04, 2010, 10:18:10 AM »

Had a set of old greasy valve covers on the shelf.  I hot tanked them (top cover in the picture below). Then covered the fill hole and baffle with a lot of tape and bead blasted them (bottom cover in the picture below).



The aluminum did not look good enough to polish so I painted them and Sanded the ribs out.



I do not have anything to put them on but at least the are not a greasy mess.  What do y'all think?

They came out very nice.

If you twist my arm you can put them on my motor and that would give you something to put them on  :craz

Nice. If they will clear roller rockers, I'll trade you some polished Ford Racing covers for 'em.

I wish they would clear rollers.  That is why they were on the shelf.    When I put the roller rockers on my 351, I had to replace these covers.

Nice work John!  If I'm not mistaken, those are from an '85 Mustang 5.0 with a carb.
