I've bought a full set of iridium spark plugs from DENSO. Have heard many good things about the company and with them only being £4 more than what Courtenay charge I thought I'd give em a go. Let you know how that turns out.
I've also bought a set of Vectra V6 cam covers as i'm fed up of having to replace the front bank gasket set every 3-4 months for having a warped rocker cover. Only cost £20 but they were a bit of a state when I got them. They came from a proper salvage company so I have no doubt that they are still fine.
Any way this is them when they arrived.
So I attacked them with engine cleaner, then the drimmel came out. Finally after a dusting off they were sprayed with heat resistant black paint so they tie in with the engine a bit better. Heres the finished product.
Will get another shot or 2 uploaded when they are fitted later. I prefer this look to the chromed look as they seem to look out of place when chromed.
What do ya think?
