I pulled the cam covers and cleaned them up nice in a parts washer (note to self, get parts washer for home shop).

They came out nice.  Down the road after I've had this thing in and running for a while, I'll consider painting the covers and maybe the intake.  Gotta head out to Lowes and find some rubber washers for the cam cover bolts.  The old ones were shot.

All cleaned up...


Nice clean looking valvetrain...


It was good getting the intake back on:


Also discovered that the fan oilpump had another piece I could take off, so fabbing a coverplate to use the stock fan pump housing looks like it will work out.

Here's the other piece of the pump.  I need to drive the pins out of the housing still.


Might not look like it, but there is ample clearance for a 1/4 coverplate with pulley attached.
