Just spent a lot of money at pelican parts. M60 parts are not cheap. They should be here next Thursday.
Plus I fly out to Chicago tomorrow for the weekend and then Connecticut the following weekend.
Still waiting on valve covers from the powder coater. And I need to take him my timing covers.

So minor update....
A bunch of my parts came in from pelican and I was able to do a little work last night. Borrowed my cousins Milwaukee 1/2 impact and got the crank bolt off no problem. So I finished pulling the timing cover.
I had planned in taking the timing covers to the powder coater. But that plan has changed... See pics below.
Not sure how well you can tell from the pics but these things are warped to hell haha. The finish did not come out how I wanted at all either. The oil cap hole is no longer round, most of the flat surfaces have dipped, and there appear to be bubbles.
Must just be from the poor quality of the cast or they cooked them wayyyyy too hot.
I wasn't charged for the work, but now I'm out a set of valve covers.
I guess I will regroup and just use the vht paint.

The casting is really poor on these valve covers, there's a lot of porosity and it makes it hard to get paint to look good. I went with a dull silver color engine spray paint, and it hid the defects pretty well.
Sucks, but what can I do. The powder coater guys face was hilarious.
I was starting to wonder why I hadn't heard back from them after a week, gonna guess that's why
If anyone has a spare set lying around let me know please.Last edited by LoneWolf; 10-02-2014, 01:46 PM.
