Something specific you need a picture of, or just looking for the highest degree of cleanliness and/or bling?

Well, that let's me out. I drive mine and live in the desert. It's a nice shade of dusty tan.

It's clean, but a previous owner painted the injector and valve covers and the paint is peeling.
Anyone know where I can source OEM replacements for a 1992?

I've gone the extra mile. All these other guys are showing pictures of their engines. How boring. I ran out to the garage and removed my engine so that you could see the actual engine compartment....

Your raw aluminum parts look very clean - silver. Any secret? Have they been painted?

No, nothing special. The car is low mileage ~30k. The heads have been off twice and 3 camshaft changes. Each time the engine has been down I spend as much time cleaning as the actual work. No oil leaks also helps.

Default 1993 lt1
Here's my LT1 with covers painted red to match the interior and white letters (to match the exterior). I got the letter inserts on ebay.
