since i have half of the engine out of the car...

i was thinking about cleaning my valve cover really good
what should i use?

and i was wondering if i could paint the "2.0" and hte rest of the letters on the cover
i was thinking red like the SRT-4

could i use spray paint or what?

 

gunk and a toothbrush work real good for cleaning....

an option for painting is to paint the whole valve cover with engine enamel....then get a fine grit sanding block and sand down the tops of the letters/numbers....just a thought

 

they sell valve covers on ebay powder-coated...just about any color for the SOHC and DOHC.

Ebay link

 

I painted mine with krylon fusion! Its still there after 2 years!

 

i painted my old one valve cover and everything else with metal cast blue and red

95neonriceeater, make sure you clean the cover real good with a degreaser and wash it.

 

alright thanks for all the advice!

thats just because i wasnt done putting the car together when i took the pic

 

Meh, I find that it gets in the way more than anything.
