Nice, but now the rest of it looks that much dirtier. What are you using for the rest of it? Scotchbrite and wd-40?
Aren't those rocker covers powdercoated or painted from the factory? Have you considered painting the letters in to match? |

yes need to get some paint for the letters.. still a work in progress the Cam covers will get painted next year, I need to clean up the motor, but I am on a limited budget so since I had to remove the plenum for wires and injectors I figured I would paint it.. the original color were painted from the factory, I have already started cleaning the cam covers so it will look fine for this year which is more shake down and finding all the issues |

Are the cam covers located by some sort of dowel or something so you can remove and reinstall them without issue?
I understand that there's no cam bearings in there, similar to the 3-valve Ford engines. |

I don't know if there is a dowel or not, but I can remove and install without issue, but you need to remove a bunch of stuff to get them out..
I bought this car in July of 07. I drove it ONCE since I have owned it so if the motor is not perfect this year I honestly don't care I need to drive it to work out all the other issues. CSS996 this is the ZR-1 you thought about buying, I remember your post on CF about it.. |

Nice!
It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to know that the car is getting the attention it deserves. I do not have the knowledge and skill you do. They were asking 11k for the car, I believe. I'd be curious to know what you ended up paying for it, if that would not offend you. PM is fine. I hope it treats you well! |

Holy moly, looks like Safelite did the windshield on that thing. Is that replacement glass or did someone just pry all the trim pieces off for fun?

I took them off (the trim) to clean/ paint it.. the windshied was a shit job. That is why I was asking about the layering of the sealers.. I found some stuff to work, I just need to clean up the parts, paint them and call the glass place |
