Detailed the Motor!!!!!
I scrubbed the crap out of the valve cover with a brillow pad then repainted it and the intake with high temp paint. I also redid the spark plug cover in black, i think it looks 100 times better let me know what you guys think.

Great before and after photos. I have had good success with Mother's Chrome polish working well on cast aluminum.

To clear this up you painted the the actual valve cover? Did you paint the UIM and the timing chaing cover as well? Or just cleaned?

Looks really great!
