He claims no issues at all with the oil pan and diff. It purs like a kitten and moves like a cheetah. It's pretty impressive. Fortunately they cleaned up a bunch of work done by the previous owner. Here's what it used to look like. I know, OMG! Nice job Jeff!! (jeff_g_old.JPG) Attachments ---------------- jeff_g_old.JPG (195KB - 1 downloads) | ||

stevegsmith Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: SF Bay Area, CA USA Vehicle(s): 82 300GD WVO, 06 Jeep Lib CRD B99 Posts: 1301 | RE: Pictures of your engine That one isn't mine. Belongs to one of our West Coast brothers who doesn't do the forum chat thing. It's in a very sweet clean green cabrio in excellent shape. If you look at the Tahoe pics from 2009, you might find a shot of him in the mud. His brother handed the valve cover over to the wheel guys at the shop and they buffed it out. Wouldn't be my first choice but after seeing this one, I thought it was pretty dern cool. My valve cover is powder coated silvery pewter. Looks stock from a distance. Cleans easier than straight unfinished or unpolished aluminum. | ||
