Any chance you can go with some better lettering? Think a little more original man. It's kind of just stating the obvious like John Madden. Go deeper danielsan.

Do you work at a machine shop? I'm assuming you didn't do this in your own garage.

I do own a bridgeport with a 3 axis CNC attachment and a 6ft lathe with a 8in throw. Yes I did do this at home and also built my motor over the last year here to. Got a Associate's degree in Machining techonlogy and right now I'm working on my Bacholers degree in Mathematical Engineering.

How much does a machine like that cost?

Anyway, the valve cover looks really nice.
