Dirty valve cover

Before


After



I can't stand a dirty engine and this has been bugging me since I bought it..Just put the final coat, going to let it sit overnight and then put it back on in the morning...Huge difference!

Sand blasting works well I'm told. Though degreaser and a wire brush is sufficient.

I did mine just like Rusche. Sandblasting does work great, just be sure to clean all the sand out. Ran several gallons of soap and water on mine

rusche, that looks really good..I just used the same paint I used when I did my wheels...Dupli Color Charcoal Gray..I was thinking about doing the raised toyota letters in either red or black..

Where do you get the 22RE emblem on the front of the valve cover?
