Hate to ruin the party like I always do and you all are going to think I'm an asshole but I don't care.

So dude says he is very mechanical but actually asks if he needs to pull the motor to remove the valve cover! damn

20_sec.hatch · 11-02-2009, 08:54 AM

Well be a a$$hole if you want, like I said I dont own one of these civics and from looking at the pics that $hit is way under there. At least I am not going to say I can do if for somebody and get there and mess there car up.

That is awesome. I guess I'm going to have to do the same. I have looked for the Honda Motors Co. cover for awhile, but seem to always find just the Honda cover. Like the one I saw on the Civic Type R motor FD2.

I'd like mine ground off and painted wrinkle black.

vladd · 11-03-2009, 02:17 PM

^there's a local guy that'll powdercoat valve covers for $40, i'm want to do mine in the wrinkle finish but unsure of color still.

06BlackSi #45 · 11-04-2009, 07:12 AM

And check this out, the valve cover and plastic cover are both black on the new 2010 Models.

i-VTEC_DOHC · 11-04-2009, 07:25 AM

the valve cover you painted wrinkle red looks good, but its not gonna pass for a type-r.
reason being:

1. you painted the breather on the right when its not painted on the type-r
2. on the holes around the edges, the whole ring is polished. as to where you just sanded out the red just around the hole.
3. the holes for the screws that go through the spark plug caps, are polished around the whole seat. again you just sanded out the red just around the hole.
4. the red is too vivid.

Greg50Lt · 11-04-2009, 02:55 PM

The all balck dosnt look as good. Its a tight engine bay and light color makes it look bigger dark colors make it look tinyer

LOL really,

1. the breather gets a hose on it DUH!!
2. i didnt sand shit it was taped off the correct way
3. i didnt sand shit it was taped off the correct way
4. if you see it in person this shit is tight.

5. the JDM type-r says HONDA not Honda Motor Co., LTD.

And who said I was trying to pass it off as a type-r???????
