Administrator Group: Administrators Last Active: Last Year Posts: 283, Visits: 12.2K	I have had a set of NOS Thunderbird Valve covers (still in their boxes) fall into my hands. Before these go onto the engine, I want to take steps to ensure that they stay shiny and new looking. Any thoughts on the best way to protect these from grime, oxidation? I have thought of clear coating them, but there may be a better solution. Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
