Yeh i made a few layers in photoshop and altered their opacity. I got layers of each step of the re-assembly, so i can make other things appear clear...... like the rockers...cams....cam caps.... valve cover.

its all on you what you want to do...but a little advice. when you're goin to be painting your valve cover, make sure you use "high temperature paint." if you just use some regular paint, it will eventually start chipping and fading cause of the heat. good luck and post pics
