Introducing Project "Scabra Tulitque"
Accomplished another step with the factory valve covers which I refuse to sand down (just want to get the engine started). Used a scuff pad one more time to remove residue from the Ospho, cleaned up with wax/grease remover, and shot a coat of black RustOleum rust reformer. I find some previous owner brazed around the bolt holes which always split open in that location if one is too aggressive with torquing the tiny fasteners. Before "paint" and ten minutes later:
