Looks great Scott. Almost looks like a new engine bay. My poor engine bay is a mess after the last blow up and the pretty new '07 block is covered in oil and crap. I'll be dragging the chassis out into the driveway to scrub and pressure wash it like you did while it is empty.

I hope those other idlers hold up and you don't have to open it up again.

Did you use any rtv or anything on the valve cover gaskets in addition to the new gaskets themselves? The STI covers appear to have had some rtv help in some places, or perhaps it is just squished and heated gaskets.
