Re: Valve cover gasket(s)

> Also decided to paint the valve cover, having tired of the black and rust color it used to be.  It's now silver and looks great.  Don't know if it'll make my engine as powerful as Huw's, though :)

painting the valve cover will get you about 5 BHP (bystander horse
power).  The timing belt covers are good for  another 2-3, but the
intake manifold can get you up to 10 if you pick the right color.

the miscellaneous little bits, done right, can add up to another 5 or
so.
