Looking good! Me and Detox_nath had to replace my pcv hose, was split in the same spot as yours, I also noticed better idling afterwards (luckily Nath had a spare piece of hose for me!

That vacuum hose the one connected to the rocker cover, where was it attached? usually it attaches to the intake piping but thats got extra hose attached! any ideas

BTW, its coming along nicely

Honestly, i have no idea. This rocker cover was the one off my parts car so i didn't take much notice of anything i pulled apart as i wont need to put it back together. However as you said normally it would go to the intake piping.. not sure why it's got an extra hose attached.

Give it a sandblast and then a nice fresh coat of paint. Will give the bay a nice feature.
Looking good with your other tweaks. If u were up here I would have blasted it for u.

Today i sanded the blue off the holden and put the rocker cover on :) I'm very happy with it.. especially seeing as it was the first time i've painted anything in the engine bay :).

Looking nice. The blue rocker cover looks sweet with the silver holden logo on it.

Keep it up
