How does this head look?

I took off my valve cover today to paint it and wanted to see your opinions about the condition of my head.

Specs: '90 1.6L, 94XXX miles.

The 'golden glow' of dino oil. Not unusual....there's a pic somewhere of my old '99 that looked just like that.

I'm wondering if the previous owner ran dino oil. I changed to Mobil1 immediately after I got the car.

Here's how the valve cover turned out:

looks pretty!

Now you need to buy that matching intake manifold that ataim has for sale.

My engine bay would like to kick your engine bay right in the crank pulley for being so clean.

Looks good from here, Matt.

How did you paint it? I'm thinking about doing mine.

Man thats a clean 1990.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I sanded it lightly with 320 grit sandpaper, cleaned it with carb cleaner and then did 2 medium coats of Rustoleum Engine Enamel.
