Well, I changed my spark plugs a few weeks ago and a few of them where pretty well soaked in oil so I ordered my VC gaskets and replaced them today. While I was at it, I went ahead and painted the valve covers. The blue looks MUCH brighter in these pictures...it's quite a bit darker and maybe a little more grey in person.








Edit: I guess I might as well post this for you Audi geniuses. I accidentally broke into a million pieces the brittle hose going from the EVAP canister to somewhere at the top of the manifold...how urgently do I need to look for a replacement?

Haha, don't worry, my hands get plenty dirty. I went through like 5 pairs taking the covers off and by the time I was ready to replace the covers, I said screw it and skipped the gloves entirely...so it was all pointless, my hands are sliced up and stained. I'm so rugged [8D].

i try to use gloves and save my hands (lots of cuts), but they only last about 5mins before i had enough of them. I just hate cleanup afterwords. Should invest in some lava soap i guess

Mostly it's just getting that crap out from under my nails that makes the gloves worthwhile. I can scrub the rest off pretty easily.
