you did a fantastic job of painting the timing cover and valve covers.... my honest opinion...i like the color combo but for some reason i want MOAR color on yours!!!....i wanted to paint my timing cover red but i decided against it cause i wasnt sure if it would be to much....i think i might end up doing it after seeing how yours came out...

If you want to check out a nice engine bay definetly check our sherns..




I agree though colored loom always looks like crap IMO, but different strokes for different folks i suppose.

Looks good, and its clean. I'm sure you put some time into it.
At least you take care of your car.
It could look like mine. I just bought a 98 sc400 and this is what my engine looks like.
I have a lot of work to do.
Good job man.

I was going to take a picture of the engine but then I noticed something...



It looks like it was spitting the antifreeze out right? so I opened the radiator cap and there was hardly any in there! (the reservoir was empty too) I had alredy put some in there once before and now its low again has anyone had this problem? Is there an issue with my coolant system?

^^ look for leaks around the car, rad, hoses, water pump. if nothing is leaking it may be your head gasket

Yes I would say you have a (coolant system) problem. LOL

spdrcr771: LoL on the engine pix... How is she running so far?

OP: good job. Don't worry about what haters out there say. Its all about how you like and wanted it looks. We change looks all the time. Thats the life of enthusiasts/modders/DIY'ers .
