Overall I am very pleased with the turnout...

Replaced Valve Covers, Distributor O-ring, Intake Manifold Plenum Gasket, Lower Runner Gasket, Denso Iridium Spark Plugs, NGK plug wires, New Cap and rotor from Toyota...

I am was very surprised that I put everything back together and she fired right up the first time with no issues....

VHT Flame Proof Spray Paint....Overkill for the parts...as they will never get that hot....it can be found at any local auto parts store....I was going for the flat black look. The spray paint has a ceramic compound in it and is gas and oil resistant...The instructions stated to go through a few heat stages to allow the paint to cure....I just started it up and let it reach running temp and shut it off and let it cool to the touch a few times...

Thanks....Yea I though about taking some sandpaper to the Lexus Emblem...

I also though about painting the throttle bottle..but decided against it due to all the sensor...vacuum lines..etc..would have been a PITA to tape all that off and almost near impossible to get it perfectly clean before paint
