Gotta love how the S63/N63 looks fully assembled, like someone dumped a chaotic mess of tube & hose spaghetti on it, hard to believe there is an engine underneath....I kinda forgot this when I was working on mine I took so long to put it back together and I decided to paint my valve covers....what a waste of time that was, you can *almost* see a corner of them now...

It will be interesting but if they are like mine where (it was burning a quart every 1200 miles or so) then they honestly wont look bad at all. In-fact I was worried that the new ones were made right as the old ones still seemed to grip the valve stems just as tight as the new ones, just a very slight difference between the new and old. That slight difference is what does it though, Mine was down only 1/4 of a quart after 5000 miles after I did the seals. Normally it would have blown through 4 quarts.
