I make cast aluminum cam/valve covers for the SOHC....So went ahead and polished up my 05 covers. It would be something you could send in and I will polish, and send back UPS . I looked into plating but most processes will not work with the combination of metals ,Magnesium/steel. At this point a good hi temp clearcoat would be the most practical coating. What a difference.! I'll work up some prices in a day or so if the'res interest.

 

Here's another shot.

 

And one more.

 

depending on cost, I would be.

Nice job looks really good.

 

I think they look pretty cool! How much down time?

 

I could turn them around 3-5 days.

 

They do look sharp.

Please let us know the cost. And, would you be including the application of the hi temp clearcoat?

 

Yes, I'll clearcoat them if desired. I'll put the pricing together friday.

 

pics installed?

 

Man those look great! What kind ofd polish did you use?

 

We used a greasless compound starting with a course grit working down to a fine grit. We have different size wheels to get into the different crannies. It's a 4-5 hour job/pair. If anyone's interested, they would be $200. + shipping. I will double box them and insure on return. PM me on it . I'll get them on in a bit and take some install pics. Thanks for the replys

Man those look fantastic. So we have to send you ours first, right?

 

I could do a "Core" charge.........Send out new ones ,polished and when Yours rec'd, return the core charge. I could do paypal or I have a card service. New covers are $399.20 list from FOMOCO.

 

Those do look nice. Will they stay polished over time - I do realize you will be clearcoating - but will they dull down under the clear coat?

How difficult were the valve covers to remove?

thx -

 

I can't say for sure...they should not oxidize like aluminum. Removing them is straightforward, if you have ever removed SOHC covers in an SN-95 :bang: , these are a breeze . I removed the coil plugs and moved some wire harness and they came out easily. The bolts are captured and the gasket fits in a snug slot. Took about a half hour.

 

I would love to see those installed.

These look really good....Compared to the stock , too bad there's so much stuff in the way. B) Air box removed and wiring up out of way.
