Told me he had been working on my truck today.

He pulled the throttle body off, began to thoroughly clean it.

He pulled the valve covers off, and he said about 10 of the screws total could be unscrewed by hand, so we found the source of an oil leak I had, had for a couple of years .

He replaced the gasket with top-of-the-line gaskets, and went down to Auto Zone, picked up some Ford factory Blue paint and painted my valve covers.

What do you all think?

Yeah, for sure.

Gotta finish cleaning up my engine. Had a little too much fun in the mud and got it nice and dusty under the hood. My uncle went over it with me once, but we missed a lot of spots, so time to go get some more Simple Green.

Cool that your Grandpa does these things out of the blue. Covers look great!

Was that a pun, by any chance?

And, thanks man.

Talked to him again today, and he said since it's easy to get to right now, he is going to paint the intake mani too
