It wouldn't bother me if you put it in here. It's just to show people how it's done. I feel that everyone should just post em in here to make it easier for people.

Man that looks good...but if I do the valve cover in that color, I don't know what color I would do my manifold cover in.

Well, i plan on keeping the manifold cover silver, but change out the sticker with the black/red one.

did you put the cardboard in the oven?

***SiliconX*** · 04-01-2008, 08:29 AM

Awesome DIY. I'm going to do this as it seems much better and cheaper than using the K20A valve cover.

Yes sir. It's low enough of a temp not to start a fire.

I wish you luck.

I over torqued a valve cover bolt, so as soon as the new one comes in and I do it right, I will be posting the pics of it on the car.

Torque the valve cover bolts down to about 8ft lbs.

Buy it before you do the diy. That way when it's done curing (24hours), you can throw it on with the new gasket.

GreyK20 · 05-29-2008, 09:21 PM

thanks man will do..link for the gasket

***fiji06si13*** · 05-29-2008, 09:43 PM

Looks good man....Great DIY!
I just hope it hold up to high underhood temps and it doesn't flake off.....

***illusionstwice*** · 05-29-2008, 09:52 PM
