Took a few more pics of the engine with all the stuff back on it. Its not all completely tightened on, so if some things look loose its because they are lol.
BTW!!!! i am trying to decide what color i should paint my valve cover/ timing belt cover, ive been told to paint it black and other people (SOCKS) said i should do a different color like silver or gunmetal, i cant decide though. Lemme know what you thing!

Silver might look good, just to keep it so everything on the engine isn't black. Although, i don't think you can ever have too much black. So yeah, do whatever makes you happy. lmao.gif
take timing belt cover off and take a 4 inch hole saw. center it in the round impression and cut it out to show your cam gear. looks great and doesnt take any time.
in terms of paint...either black or red unless you are going to paint the entire engine cover.
