yea, the Valve cover still looks great. no chips or anything. just a little dirty from oil when i was work n on the car. i just never cleaned it up.
if u dont have access to power tools like an impact gun, then i suggest u bring ur car to a shop to do ur timing belt. the crank pulley bolt is a bitch to get off unless u have a Impact gun. (there is a tool that is made to fit inside the crank pulley that makes removing this bolt easy, with the help of a breaker bar) if u have no clue of how to do it then first read up on how to do it then attempt it.
heres a good site
