With all that brake cleaner and paint, I think I'll be stupid by the time I'm done!

Painted my Valve Cover tonight. I'm pretty happy with it. I guess I'll wait until it dries. But it's definitely better than the corroded oily mess it was before:




And I got some more parts in.

Crank bolt:


PCV valve housing:


Coolant return line O-ring (this is probably more famous as the B6 1.8T "J-plug" location). AWM has a pipe there, though:


4 Driveshaft gaskets. 2 for the DS, and 1 for each axle. Audi recently dropped the price. Now they're like 90 cents a piece. Down from $10!


Hopefully some more real progress tomorrow.
