I polishing mine and they looked nice for awhile, you just need to
keep polishing them every once and awhile or they look crappy again.

after they are polished, you need to seal them. Zoops Seal or clearcoat will work well.

I was thinking about polishing mine also. Can't decide between polishing them or painting them.

My valve cover install/swap

Some start to finish pictures, as well as discoveries...

Those are my friends 2v pi heads they are sitting on btw.
Before:
The process:


Had to remove the battery and battery mounting box to remove the passenger side valve cover

The 3v has c-clamps not cam ladders

The black one is oem off and 05 GT, notice how ford did away with bolt hole locations on the 07 valve cover, although the heads suport all the mounting holes, weird.









All Done, took about an hour and ahalf with two guys wrenchhin, and a run to the store for rtv sealant. :grin:

I noticed you had the Zex Nitrous system - looking at putting on mine - do you like it - any issues. By the way nice clean install.
