Rob,

The pitting you mention, is this something that is aggravated by the cleaning process prior to powercoating? Or is the deterioration already pretty bad before the covers are even touched? Just curious, as it may pay for us to get a line on replacement valve covers. I would love to make mine appear cleaner underhood, I suppose I can remove, clean with a degreaser and then spray them with some 1200° silver engine enamel.
