My neglected SE-R got it's spring tune-up today: new 02 sensor, new fuel filter (black gas was coming out of the old one!), new wires and, most importantly, a new valve cover gasket.

The SE-R's valve cover looked like it had been through a war -- covered in oil, paint chipping off, etc (you guys know what I'm talking about). So I decided to hit it with the wire wheel. 2 hours later, it looked like this:

I think it's aluminum so it shouldn't rust out like the rest of the car...

now take a polishing wheel to it. they have several polishing/buffing bits for dremels at lowes/walmart/home depot.

I kinda like the brushed aluminum look...

I just got back from an extended drive with the car: new wires, 02 sensor and fuel filter are good things. The car totally has more 'oomph'! Best mod evar! :)

Next up: good tires and sway bars!
