what a little cleaning can do
Yesterday, I finished cleaning my front valve cover, but since it was raining, I decided to wait until today to post up the before and after shots.

After
If someone knows how to adapt colours to objects in photoshop or GIMP, please tell me, because I want to paint these, but I am undecided upon a colour.

I am still trying to figure out how to remove the far one.. my haynes manual says to remove the EGR valve, but I am not sure if I have to do that, or if I can clean up the EGR valve while it is out.. thus making it useful to remove it.
