Well, I saw a LXforum members engine with painted Valve covers and I was in shock the difference in the look. So, I kindly asked him (MAGFX) how he got the covers off, and apparently it was not too bad (would have been easier if I was a midget).
Well I got one off after about an hour of labor. 90 Percent of the bolts were very easy, a couple were impossible to get too, and no way to get a socket on them. I am still not quite sure how I am going to get these covers back on yet?
Anyway, here are some pics, I have one off and in the pic I used scotchbrite to clean it good... I wonder if anyone can tell me do I sand it before painting?
Next i will use a etching primer, then maybe a primer on top, paint with high temp paint and clear.
I am hoping to have this done tomorrow, at this rate I better get up early.
Anyone has any input of suggestions I would appreciate it. Hope this is useful.
