Motor is getting close to completion.

So I am quite anal and did not want sheetmetal valve covers on my B1MC heads (and B1 cast covers don't fit a B1MC head). I wanted to reuse my M/T covers. These are not in great shape - hope to find as nice set down the road and redo do the setup. These things took FOREVER, but I think they will work really well. Also redid my oil pan - all O Rings and no RTV - no leaks!

The valve cover corner you see got whacked by a 1/2 inch end mill because I got stupid! Welded it up and sanded it. Can't tell other than a ferw scratches I did not get out.

Nice work Mark as usual.

What surface seal do you prefer on the oil pan?
