Nothing special but better than bare metal. Might color the lettering black if I can ever get around to getting a high temp black paint pen.

mine is the second generation Lude cover on a third generation Accord, same A20 in both, cut the threads off the valve cover studs, then machined them for internal threads, cover is held on with stainless socket heads, and OEM grommets. Center cover is machined from aluminum, oil cap is an aluminum one I found on a later model civic, at the yard, and I made the plug wire separators etc. I'm going to paint it again, as it's gotten chipped,scraped etc during this project. I changed that breather to a -6 line now, this is an old picture Name:  pM7aQLv.jpg

Who cares who did it first? It's a valve cover, not a heart transplant. Looks good tho.

Dont mind the mess, I just finished putting the car back together. Not sure if I wanna paint the vc a different color. I like the contrast between it and the spark plug cover. Still havent made a catch can for those 2 extra ports.

Something cool that I found out today. My OLiT cover is the only one of its kind. The guy who made them said its the only one like it that he sold to a good friend back in the day.
It needs new fasteners so it looks awkward right now
