RE: Valve Cover Mod
quick question, its almost the same as the guy above, but when taking my valve cover off, ill put something over the valves so no dirt gets inside, but for the valve cover its self, does it matter when im panting if paint particals stick on the inside of it and what not? or should i clean that out too..or what??

Well, that was something i didnt have to worry about, because i taped off all the holes. I dont think (and dont quote me on this) that its a HUGE deal if you get some paint particles on the inside of it, but its better to be safe than sorry, and just tape them off.

yo forty that looks really good, it really does add that "pop" under the hood, i encourage everyone to try it, its not that hard it just takes some time, and to answer althius's question i explain in the DIY its extremely simple just take off those 5 bolts and disconnect the hose in the top left corner, other than that theres nothing to it, just make sure once you take the valve cover out close your hood so that nothing gets inside the engine while the cover is off. I'll post the pictures soon of it being installed back under the hood.
