heres the progress... about 99% done..

about 99% done interms of that small task... up next ill be shaving this last hole which protrudes the valve cover in this pic... i should have this done by the end of this week...

and last but not least....

lulz...

Did you use a dremel on the buttom part of the VC??? after like 2 hours of sanding mine still had these ridges in it and it drives me crazy

Hey pete what size screws did you use on the spark plug cover? Reason i'm asking is seems one of my engine cover rod's fell off and was thinking on swoping them out.
