Topic: Question on valve cover install

TS, on a curious note, how does that filter look on the car? How has it benefit? Have you had much oil in there?

Actually you can't see it at a glance as it's positioned under my DDM cross-bay brace .  There's no oil in it, but it's in-line with the check valve... really just a visual indicator that the check-valve is operating correctly.

If I ever see any oil in it I know to clean or replace the check-valve.  I guess that next I need to put one in the other line, down to the turbo.

I installed the new cover today. Easier than I thought. Be sure to have a torque wrench and its a snap. Harbor Freight is my new friend. I think though a Glossy DDM valve cover is in my future (Nationals).

Looks great!

I think you are referring to the Coil Cover.  Your Valve cover is already matched to everything else.

Your engine bay looks pretty awesome right.
You could alway pop off the intake manifold and powder coat that.

Agree with Elff. I would paint the turbo heat shield and metal elbow to IC piping too. (I'd do black to match the OCC) and then a black coil cover to set it off against the color. You can paint the stud heads orange to match everything else.  Looking good!
