KenDogg · March 7th, 2008, 04:41 PM

Hey guys, i'm about to paint my valve covers tonight. will i need new valve cover gaskets when i put them back on?

07 STROKER · March 7th, 2008, 04:56 PM

nope...if u r cafefull...lulu just did his and reused the old ones....just dont rip them

qwik48r · March 7th, 2008, 05:03 PM

+1... just be gentle and use even pressure... what color you painting them?

KenDogg · March 7th, 2008, 05:12 PM

i think it's gonna be old ford blue, the color is kind of subtle, i have an alloy car and didn't really want a grossly contrasting color like red

07 STROKER · March 7th, 2008, 05:16 PM

ive been debating on what color to go with cuz im alloy as well...please post some pics when u r done.

KenDogg · March 7th, 2008, 05:21 PM

pics are a sure thing, should *hopefully* be back together sunday night-ish

They valve cover gaskets are rubber so they can be reused, just be sure when taking them off because they have RTV sealant where the head meets the front cover, and when you reinstall them make sure to reapply RTV where the gasket is notched to avoid any leaks

07 STROKER · March 7th, 2008, 06:26 PM

im gonna start a new thread..pics of painted valve covers.

KenDogg · March 9th, 2008, 07:37 PM

ok so i sprayed my valve covers, fuel rails, throttle body just like namelessliar except in Old Ford Blue. I had to do it twice cause some oil or some kinda crap must have gotten on them between prep and spray cause they were splotchy the first time and looked like ass. here's a preview of the color, they'll be back on the car in a couple days

06RedfireGT · March 9th, 2008, 07:48 PM

Looks good so far.

KenDogg · March 9th, 2008, 08:21 PM

thanks Red. i cleared them since posting that pic, it really helps bring out the color
