What's the best way to clean my valve cover? It detracts from the engine's appearance because it's dirty. Is there a specific cleaning product suitable? I apologize if this seems like a foolish question, but I want to be careful.

Thanks,
Dustin

There are many products on the market for cleaning engines. Most of them are engine degreasers, which I use. I really haven't seen a difference from one degreaser to another degreaser. You should be able to pick up engine degreaser at your local parts store.

I took my cover off, sand blasted it, ran it through the solvent tank, and painted it with a black wrinkle finish. LOOKS SHARP. 20 bucks for new gasket and 6 bucks for paint.
