The valve cover came out nicely; I was gonna replace it but I think I'll keep it at least for now:

I got some parts in from MSA today: BRE rear spoiler, clear headlight covers, Cusco oil catch can, and two polished block-off plates. I also got my Fidanza flywheel and Supra 295cc injectors in, and should be getting my downpipe and ported intake manifold in soon. Here's some pics:

I also got some more cleaning done on the engine tonight. 26 years of grime is a PITA to remove! I'm not looking for car show-winning cleanliness, just clean enough to work with. It will get a major cleaning when I get it rebuilt, probably next year.

My shiny new polished block-off plates...if only the rest of the engine could be so shiny.

When I get a full gasket kit in, I'm going to take all the accessories off the front and give them a proper cleaning. It's just not working with everything assembled.
