Does anyone have an extra valve cover laying around that they would sell or let me borrow it. Think about this "A catch and release program". We could start one. Someone sends me a valve cover(I pay shipping), and then I take it to get powder coated or painted or whatever. Then I swap it out with the one on my car and then I ship it to the next person. Do you see what Im getting at. This would work for other things as well(TB's) so that there wouldnt be any down time.
Does anybody else think that this is a good idea?

i think its a good idea...especially with the TBs..

BTW..how much is it to get the valve cover powdercoated??

Im not sure. There is a place not far from here that Im going to call in the morning. Ill post the info when i find out. What do you think about a white valve cover? (my car is white)

white would look good, although i guess it might get dirty in there. I really don't see the point of powercoating though. I painted mine and it has held strong, plus i got it to match my car color pretty good since there's more selection of paint. A friend of mine had his powdered for like $40 or so and easily put a little scratch on it before putting in the car (there goes the money :( )

I also have my cover painted and it looks good.

I was wondering is our valve covers made of aluminum or something else???

get it powdercoated then powdercoat it over with clear coat. Mine valve cover is this way and it looks very glossy and has never scratched (and i put it through hell...)

I have a spare stock valve cover i can sell to someone if they want it..email me at kiku@asog.net

what kinda paint did yall use? I tried painting the exhuast manifold with some 1200 degree hi temp paint but that lasted about 10 mins.

400 degree worked for me, exhaust mani sees above 1300, which i think is the highest paint temp available most places

SOOO What is the Valve cover made of?? Aluminum????
