I replated my fuel injector clips with some tin-zinc electroplating...now they're rust-free & match the rest of the recent polishing craze that I've been on.

Interesting. What sort of equipment did you need? Did you follow a write-up?Quote:

I really wish I could go drive my car today...but the weather is nasty and I just washed it....
nothing to do on the car because I am waiting on parts :(
Finally switched to 3rd gen lifters, tucked the front injector wires, painted my cam gears, resealed my top end, and installed a new timing belt.

Where did you purchase the 3rd gen lifters from? I've been wanting to do this for a while now :)
