"I'm going to try that trick with the blow drier and co2 on the dents soon..."

what trick is that...I've never seen that one done?

 

i think he means dry ice and a blow dryer....

 

You heat up the dent with a dryer for 30 sec to a minute, then immediately spray co2 (I believe thats it...... maybe dry ice) on the dent covering all the surface area of it. Then it's supposed to snap back to it's original form. It was posted by gin0o0o awhile back if you do a search on here you might find it.

 

Got the valve cover gasket, some black gloss engine enamel paint, and a pcv valve (for my car) today at Autozone. I was surprised that the gasket came in a box with plastic rings and some replacement nuts aswell $23, $30 total. I decided while it was off that I would paint it so I brushed off some more chips of paint with a wire brush and put two coats on it. I wasn't trying to be too perfect just wanted to test it out befor I do it to my civic.

Put the new gasket on and ran it for 20 min, no noticeable leeks so far.
