Either way, I am very happy with it. I will be ordering my valve cover gasket and all the gromits, etc this week so that I can put it on my new motor... then hope to have the new motor in my car in the next 2-3 weeks.... as soon as I have time.

pm'd^
I'm working on getting my stuff to bucky. Damn car decided to mess up on me![]()
This is making me want to go and take my valve cover off and paint it...........
-If You Own A Honda And Say "Headers", Go Jump Off Bridge...........
Better give me some of that paint.Originally Posted by blank cd
mmmm wrinkly
before...
after...
Im gonna strip it later and redeux it now that i know how it works. After these pics I tried to rush dry it by driving around with it on. Do not do that. Ive got spots now down by the manifold heat sheild
The H and the VTEC were also polished down, then masked prior to painting (dont try to polish it after you painted it)

NOW GIVE ME THAT PAINT!!
i suggest before doing this to get another valve cover to work on. The paint on the bottom side is starting to blister. Im gonna strip it, prime it w/ etching primer and prime that w/ high temp BBQ grill paint. should keep it from getting hot from underneath
Here's my before and after....
