Got me bonny blue paint today, so decided to get the nitromors out to do the rocker covers. Even though the cam bays looked very clean I decided to check behind the breather baffles on the inside of the covers......very glad I did cos it the gunge monster must have just been evicted .....it was caked to hell, so if anyone is using an engine with these type of baffles I would check/clean them out
UUUgghhh.....manky

and alternator pullys .....colour I mentioned a couple of post ago.

Got the old nitromors to work today and stripped my rocker covers, need to smooth them up a bit and move on to priming them.....have also discovered another cheap tune up mod which is to replace the stock inlet cam for another stock exhaust cam coupled with some vernier pulleys can get an increase in mid range power/drivability
