Yeah, it was nice to finally win after entering 3 years in a row!! But I did make quite a few changes this past year. Let me know how your valve cover works out, Hit me up if you have any questions on what or how I did mine.

Is the paint holding up alright? I was going to paint mine but was wary about painting it with non hi temp paint, the colors I need don't come in hi temp. Any problems with it fading or anything?

That bay is so damn clean I can't even tell if you run the thing

Oh yeah, it holds up great. Just be sure to put a couple of coats of high temp down as a "primer". Then use multiple coats of high temp clear.

Wazzelby, I'm getting mine prepped now. What is "high temp base coat"? Is that a primer or just a light color like white?

I used a high temp paint as a primer. I used black, and lightly sanded between coats. 2 coats should do. Then your paint, then a high temp clear (I used about 4 or 5 coats).

The Aircraft Remover is taking forever! How long did it take you? Did you take it down to bare metal or did you start sanding?

Took off the ridges on the 8 VC:

Looks good so far!! I didn't get it down to the bare metal, just enough to get the surface roughed up. Once that was done I sanded like crazy! I like that you shaved it too, I thought about it, but decided I kind of liked the ridges and lettering.

Did you replace the valve cover gasket? If so, where did you order from?

wazzelby

iTrader: (11)

I replaced the gasket with a factory one. Plus you'll want to put a little RTV in specific places, the FSM should tell you where exactly.

It's finally coming together. I need to wet sand it and through a couple more coats on then clear coat it.
