I used the VHT universal gold on my engine and then cleared over it with a two part R-M Diamont clear. The clear seems to have bonded very well with the VHT. I think it turned out great and the clear should help to keep it looking clean longer.

If it was mine, I'd go for the left, but it's not. I just thought it would look sweet with aluminum valve covers. Well, just about everything else aluminum.

I think you should go with the VHT and I'm never wrong, just ask my wife.

I'm actually kind of leaning more towards the VHT on the right. Any opinions are accepted. 'Cause in the end I'm the one who chooses and lives with it.

So, I loved the Y block at the top and decided to paint mine gold. But I want some opinions 'cause I'm on my third brand of paint. I hated the Eastwood high temp oldsmobile gold. It looked like the color of my moms walls. NOT HOT ROD! So I bought two rattle cans of gold paint, the universal gold by duplicolor, and VHT metal flake gold. What are you're opinions. Speak now or forever hold your peace. I really am torn between the two. Duplicolor is the lighter gold on the left. VHT is the more "redish" gold on the right. Sorry I don't have a better pic.

The 4 "blocks" along the out side of the head are likely to be part of the holding system for when the heads were machinedat the factory. These blocks are very useful to check if the heads have been milled. Unmilled stock heads should measure exactly 1.000" high. Less than that and the heads have been milled to the difference between the measured block thickness and 1.000"Thanks for the heads up Doug! I'll go check the measurements to see where they're at! And I'll post some more pics as I progress.

Anyone have experience clear coating an enigne?I cleared all of the aluminum parts on my engine. So far it's doing well. I have over 5000 miles on it.

MY hat is off to you. I am almost finished do a set of finned aluminum valve covers I picked up on E Bay
Can not wait to see it when yo are done.Throw some pics up of the polishing you're doing on those covers. I'd love to see them! (They're probably the same valve covers I was out-bid on last week Ha ha ha!
