Thread: s/c and thorttle body paint

what im doin is making it look the way i want it to then make it go vroom vroom

Me and you are on the same page. For now Looks > Racekar.

The car needs to look good before its fast(ish).

Do i need new valve cover gaskets or just a upper plenum

got some high temp gloss black engine enamel couldnt find any white i guess i will have to search more tomorrow

If you are taking the valve covers off, you need new gaskets and grommets, if you don't get those you will have an oil leak.

When bolting things back together, just get the valve cover bolts snug, dont go over board and break the bolts, same with the supercharger bolts, just go pretty snug all the way around.

^ what he said

so ignore the torque specs and just crank them good is what you are saying. if i cant find white idk what color to do then

Coughblackcough. Yup no need to worry about torque specs when it comes to those bolts.

I never use torque specs on the top half the engine (minus the heads), tight/snug is good enough.

its a rubber gromit, the bolt that hold the covers on goes though them, they snap into the cover as well.
