    I own a 95 M edition and that gold should look real good on it. Good job.

    What grit did you use for sandpaper ❓❓❓

      I honestly forget this was so long ago. I'd start with something light and not abbrassive and work your way up if needed!

      We sold the car a while ago but it did hold up fairly well for the time we had it

    I met a kid that paid almost $200 to have one powder coated. I asked why he didn't paint it and spend the money on something else and he just stared at me with his mouth hanging open.

      Omg hahah why would you pay that much… it’s such a simple valve cover to paint too 🤣 smh

    Night & Day difference is a common expression there? In my home country we say: "there's a difference from sky to land"

      Yeah it’s a very common expression here. But interesting I like that one!

    What brand of gold is that? I can't find any VHT with that colour

    Awesome video, man! I need to paint the valve cover on my NB - I'll definitely check out this video again when I do.

    VERY IMPORTANT... The torque diagram you displayed looked like head bolts. It's not at all correct for the cam/valve cover tightening pattern and the cam/valve cover bolts should only be 7 ft-lbs. Did you use high temp paint? Std paint won't last long on engine parts. It looks nice though. I'll be doing a red wrinkle paint on mine.

    • @onlywenilaugh6589
      @onlywenilaugh6589 3 года назад +1

      Yeah 50ft lbs would strip out the bolts in a flash.

      i believe ik what color you're reffering to and yes that is cool but we prefered the gold

    What Grit Sandpaper ?

    • @RatchetWrenches
      @RatchetWrenches  7 месяцев назад

      I forget it's been so long but obviously start off non abrasive and work your way down if need be depending on your valve covers condition!

  • @ceddthakid9732

    what gold did you use?

    • @RatchetWrenches
      @RatchetWrenches  3 года назад

      It was a gold rattle can from autozone. I forget the number or name of it though.

    I bet Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner would've cleaned the underside.

    • @RatchetWrenches
      @RatchetWrenches  2 месяца назад +1

      It definitely would've!

      @@RatchetWrenches I'm going to have to do this work on my MX-6. Far more difficult with that 6 cyl so I might as well do it allm & paint the heads bronze, & the plenum red. I got the old hook intake as a spare since I really can't use it in Cali. Had a JDM put in & they had to swap the JDM uppr. Thanx for the vid though. Hope that oven cleaner doesn't force that aluminum into super corrode mode.
