MMMMMM chrome... 
chrome + heat = cracks in the chrome...at least thats what i am told...that would not be good, and i know my zetec runs wayy to hot to even try it, after driving home from work, i cant even touch the valve cover for at least 3 hours of cool down time...burns the callouses right off my guitar playin fingers...
