New valve cover setup!

[KaeDu]

Looks great! This DIY just consist of removing the VC and painting. When removing the VC you just cover the valvetrain with a towl and reinstall? Also is the VC gasket reused or is that not a good idea?

Yeah when I took the valve cover off I layed some shop paper towels over the valve train and closed the hood. I didnt replace my gasket this time because I replaced it when I painted it yellow last year. If its still the original gasket I would replace it though.

Im gonna be painting mine yet again, I decided on wrinkle black and Ill be doing a breather setup aswell.

I might be wrong, but sometimes the dip stick is a little loose. Maybe for it to just be more secure....

Under extended high rpm conditions k motors tend to pop their dipsticks

I would just paint with black wrinkle then spray blue over it. just do light coats, dont lay it on too thick.

thats a great idea,
it just happens that I still have a can of wrinkle black from vht
I havent used them yet, 1 can should be enough right?

when you say do light coats, you talking about the blue coat or the black coat
I read in your previous posts that you recommend duplicolor engine paint right?
Im gonna look for a color thats as close to the spoon blue as possible

Im a spoon convert...I'll start off the spoon collection with the most affordable pieces the resevior socks

Yeah use duplicolor if they have a blue you like. I was talking about laying the blue on this so it doesnt fill in the wrinkle finish from the black vht.

DE 1601 Ford Blue seems close to spoon blue

Oh..ok lol. I was like whaaaa..! !...looks real clean though. Love the GM color. I used a wrinkle coat paint and properly it take about 2 to 3 hrs. do light coats which builds the wrinkle look....
