Blue w/polished looks nice. Wish I had the time to get my vc's powdered and polish the IM & TB.

Looks like your vc's could use a fresh coat.

.....Looks like your vc's could use a fresh coat.

Only a 3 year old powdercoat. They are fine. The Transluscent Blue didn't cover up the "fatima" on the valve covers. Paul even cleaned them up with a wire wheel before coating.

whats the best to use on the bay? such as cleaning wise?

I just use simple green, diluted to a 1:10 solution on the hard areas. Then I will go behind it with a water damped cloth to clean up any residue. Some spots i just use a damp cloth.

Then I will go behind it with cleaner wax, Aerospace 303, etc.

Do you have two oil catch cans ??

Yes, 1 for each cylinder head bank. Oil vapors get thrown in from both sides; front and rear.
