    Great job Evan. I remember trying to paint my Non-VTEC 1.3 liter Honda CRX valve cover 15 years ago and how bad a job I did. I wish I had this video to inspire and show me how it's done. I subscribed after seeing this.

    Mad props ! I used regular paint Honda and Acura and not issues. I stress valve cover must be free of grease. Strip wash use brush. Prep is 90% of work.

    That came out super nice with the spark plug cover and oil cap matching the brushed aluminum looking letters super well. That chapstick tip is awesome.

    I put the valve gasket before the paint job using the dental floss technique. It just made it easier for me to do it in one day.

  • @garystinson1060

    A little tip. Have the valve cover sandblasted. Cheap, clean and you don't have to use chemicals.

    That looks great - if I'm honest I thought the spark plug cover looked a bit naff when it went on in your last video, but now you've done the valve cover too it looks amazing. I recently got a TT GTO... Guess what job just got added to my 'to-do' list!

    @Kozo_Hoshino_ 6 років тому

    should have done the intake manifold and rear valve cover all at the same time. from another vr4 owner. makes the engine bay look much better and other 3kgt owners can tell you went the extra mile to do everything right. most people will not look for the rear valve cover but "we" will.

    can you paint plastic valvecovers? the car is an opel omega 3.2v6. it has plastic kinda covers?

  • @ralphralphin
    @ralphralphin 6 років тому

    Dude you need to take the exhaust manifold off and run a wire brush on it to make it look a bit newer, it would match your newly painted head you just did such a nice job on. Its funny, when you were painting it on the cardboard, it looked a totally different color it ended up being on the car. when it was on the cardboard it looked a bit bland, but once you got it on the car it looked OEM in a sense but like new also. New OEM i guess you could say..

    If you have time, should you bake on the paint in the oven? or waving a heat gun? Or will the engine heat baking on being sufficient? Great video. I am going to do this with my Goldwing GL1800 valve covers.

  • @Wafflebrah21
    @Wafflebrah21 6 років тому

    All this engine dress up but you didn't degrease the bay. I'd do that, then install the new shiny stuff while having a clean area to work in. Love the car

    I know the rear rocker cover is pretty hidden but it just seems half assed to not do that one too.
    When’s the gearbox getting done? I would have thought that would be the first thing fixed over all these small bits and pieces.
