Pic request - what have you done to your engines looks?

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

its the early 1.7 ES engine and yes, you really should have a cam cover, no matter how cool it looks (and it does!)

Thanx. I have cam cover but engine is not working now so there's no need of putting it on. I'll have to check also timing when it'll be working on all 4 cylinders. Cam cover is painted grey with orange sticker about timing belt on top of it-looks nice :)

No you don't need info about pressure they can handle. They've just got to be high-pressure ones or they can be usual ones if they don't need to put up with pressure.
