How did the intake valves look @ 29K miles?

2. While I was pulling everything apart to get to the housing bolts I went ahead and had the valves walnut blasted. I was probably a bit conservative here at only 29k miles, but now everything is nice and shiny and I won't have to think about it.
3. I also replaced the stock brake booster line with some Vibrant vacuum hose to make things look nicer with the DCI set-up.
Next up on the list is a fresh valve cover and gasket (will upgrade the PCV valve while I am in there), crank case vent hose, NGK one step colder plugs, Eldor coils, and a new serpentine belt. Then just maybe the N54 will be nice to me for a while longer!
