By the looks of things I say your friend is a cheater. That's a roller cam set-up in that damaged block. Not exactly vintage!

Only because Deb pointed it out to you.

That was for the carnage. I thought it was your engine.
Gotcha. Not mine thankfully.
Say what ?
LMFAO

Ok Lucky, you win the prize. I suspect a bad valve spring is what wiped out my 2007 Focus

Cool Mark glad to hear you didn't make anymore WE gifts, the value of mine just went up exponentially.

Thats nothing. With the current USD/AUD exchange rate, i should offload my WE gift from Mark. I will be able to light my cigars with $100 notes then.
For the life of me I can’t remember what that would be.

The motor is almost back together.As per anything I do with this car....I had to find some new valve covers to fit around the new rockers. The nice, aluminum fab'd covers that I had don't fit around the new rockers. Couldn't grind away enough material without going through the aluminum. After the last 2 snowfalls were cleared away, I ran the engine up North of town to a local race shop. They had a couple options that fit. I decided to go with less bling on this setup. Have everything clearanced and ready to weld. I just want a little warmer day to do the welding so I'm not shaking!

Can you at least chrome them!
Nope. When I'm finished welding the bungs, I'll repaint them the correct Ford Blue.

I think it's going to slow the car down. Why is their an oil fill in each valve cover?
Duuuh, so you can add the 9 quarts of oil twice as fast!
The VC's already had an oil fill opening in them. Instead of welding them closed, I decided to just add another fill point. These are stock (aftermarket) 351 valve covers I picked up new for $25.
