Decided to take a couple photos of the engine nekkid
Was checking the spark-plugs and wiping down the engine bay, so I decided to snap a couple shots since I haven't come across many threads of the updated VVTi motor without the cover on. I do like the revised intake manifold on these motors..

Cover off

Also helps that it was garaged all its life and had only 48,500 miles when I bought it, barely at 53,000 miles right now..
