You can use a small wire brush or scotch brite pads to lightly brush over the powder coating stuff to remove debris. That gives a little brightness to it.
BTW, the plastic elbow that connects the hose to the power pipe...Where can you buy one of those? I want to change mine. I got it used. It is all greased up and scratched, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

RC,
Just got off the phone with Rick Anderson.
1. The plastic 3/4 elbow is a piece available at Home Depot
2. He said that my oil blow by problem would be solved by installing a baffle in my Trick Flow valve covers.
Now I need to find out how to do that and where to get some.
I like BLing's Idea...Put in a ONE-Way valve on the hose going from the oil fill neck, so that the flow is OUT of the VC's. Then, put a filter to catch any oil..Then, connect the hose to the power pipe via a male air tool connector. This will allow air out of the crank, back into the powerpipe (air gets meter upon return) and oil to be observed and caught in the filter.

let me know if you guys decide to do it. I'd like to know how it works out and some pics of the results. I'm going to try and reroute my bypass hose this weekend.
