Here's a couple of pics of my engines. I"m bored with the look and want to make some changes. So do I shine up the valve covers or powder coat them blue? Do I clean and clear the intakes or should I powder coat them yellow to match the blocks?
I've never known this group to be short of opinions so lets here them.

I would just leave the hatch closed.....

LOL! Is that a notch above John Deer Green or is it?

Ceramic coat on the intakes. The stuff will stand up to any heat or chemical. Comes clean with a damp cloth. It's what I have on the headers and tunnel ram in the jetboat.

Pat, I always know I can count on you for advice.
Pachanga, it is one step up from JD geen.
Nice looking engine there Mark. I guess that is just one more option.

Or you can buy my Mercury Racing Blue525 EFI's and then I can get the Red Ilmor 725/Indy package

Wow Brian I never would have guessed you would want the red ones.

I kinda like the John Deere theme idea. It's fitting. New cockpit is going to be all yellow right? Might as well do the cabin in green then.

REMEDY

Marks idea really works! Cleans up and keeps the shine. Don't make intake yellow. Maybe the green on the valve covers. Or a set of new billit or fabricated covers. Something up to date. I think KE has a trick 2 piece set.

Here's what a yellow intake looks like
This was the old 454 in the jet when I bought it.
