again, i read that post when it was posted above but i dont see anything in there about the chrome plug cover.

 

i just started mine today... i didnt think i would need that dremel piece... yeah, you do. and also, you might want to add mask to that list of things you need because im pretty sure i have metal dust in my lungs after round 1

 

well stillmotion I hope you are stillalive. very good point on the mask, and also cover the eyes. My manufacturing lab prof. literaly lost one eye because of a metal chip. So PLEASE everybody wear glasses when using the dremel.
OK then how is it going stillmotion?

 

thats clean. what kind of headers do u have?

 

alphawerks according to his profile

 

Its coming along well. I'm still alive thank god. I'm going to be stopping at home depot tonight for the mask and wire brush head to finish the first round. Ill have some photos by the midle of next week. I am also still looking for where I can get the chrome injector cover... Anyone?

 

stillmotion,

Try that.

 

all i godda is is wow

lot lot lot lot cheaper then a chrome shop thats for sure!!!

 

Wow how long did this take.

 

I spent one afternoon and a half, but I didn't rush.

 

Dam thats pretty nice...

 

thank you very much.

i will be finishing up this mod today so i should have photos soon

 

So you can do this to the alphawerks header? If so I might do this to mine before selling it, it's starting to have rust.

 

Yes, it's the same process just different materials but the results are as good. I'm no polishing mine yet, they are still shiny.

 

i would just rub them down really well with rubbing alcohol. it has always seemed to clean headers up for me in the past. i did it every 2 weeks

 

So how did u get into the small cracks where the plugs and oil cap are? Is that with the first posted dremel bit?

You guys prolly knew this already but if you wanted to paint your the top of the engine block if you sand it down first like this it will look way better than non-sanded! Hmmm

I'm just gonna do polished for now... Scion expo is about 1 week away!

 

I am doing this mod tonight!

 

looks good

 

i hope you all know that a wire brush will scracth the hell out of your valve cover. i can see the scratches in the pics. i took the whole thing off, used a cloth bit on a modified skill saw with some top secret stuff from my friends performance shop. looks like glass.

good luck though

 

Is it hard to remove or put back on? Is there any gaskets or torquing? I want to do this to mine but don't want to do it when it's on.
