warranty/valve cover question

[chiv]

i was wondering instead of baking a valve cover to change the color of it with the high temp paint can you just use the high temp spray paint? also if you take your valve cover off will it void any warrantys? same with the intake manifold because i was thinking about polishing it

High temp paint will work. Depends if the issue causing the warranty work had to do with you removing the cover, ie. Dropping a bolt in the engine. Other than than if re installed properly uou will be ok.

same with the intake manifold too? as long as i don't do anything to mess my engine up by removing it it has nothing to do with the warranty

well yea same idea, if you are careful you should be alright but if you take it off you might need to get a new exhaust manifold gasket.....

dont paint the manifolds, they get way to hot and even the high temp paint really cant stay on there too long....just my opinion tho...
