Valve covers, on motor and two I am working with.

Nope Frank. not one little bit of cleaning. Not trying to bring the guy out for a flogging but I would have NEVER shipped a part this way. No padding or protection of any kind. This cover smelled like DEATH. It smelled just like that stink you smell when you go to a low budget junkyard. The guy who delivered it said his truck stunk all day like that box. I got 'peppered' with pieces of the crud when I opened it. I was not a happy camper but I should have been a little better about getting pics of the part and better details on the condition prior to buying it so its my fault too. Oh well, lesson learned and something like this wont happen again. At least I hope not. Funny, the guy is decent and sells lots of stuff, I dont get it?
Leanna, What could I expect to pay (ballpark) to get the lite dents out of this and the scale to get a straight chrome cover? Could this even be done to this cruddy one? Seems to me it would cost more that the cover is worth and I cant see throwing tons of money into this aspect of the slant upgrade. I do have an offy cover from the group buy thats starting to look better as time passes. I just am not crazy about the lack of baffles and that PCV conversion thingy that was posted on this site awhile ago, thanks!!
