Neck Clean Up 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
After getting a brand new pair of pushrod tube covers on ebay for $10.50, I decided to try the neck clean-up mod in the tech section. The hardest part of the mod is removing & reinstalling the headlight without scarring something in the process. I took my time & covered everything in shop rags. Just as stated in the article, the pushrod cover just snaps into place like it belongs there & it's held by a piece of doublesided tape. As snug as it fits I think it would probably stay there even without the tape. Really makes the dark area behind the headlight stand out. Many thanks to the Clinic for having the tech section & props to yogregb for writing the article. It's an idea I probably would never have thought of. A pic just after installation.
