Valve cover: I sent this v/c through the parts washer about 10 times and it removed all the cosmoline without bead blasting. I have sanded the ribs. Looks real nice. $30 plus shipping.
M42 header: missing one stud, but otherwise ok. Maybe great for a turbo project?
$20 plus shipping
local p/u in the Sac area if you like
