Default SOHC valve cover's? I want one.

I always see the DOHC covers, and i like them but i have a stock SOHC, i wanted to get a SOHC cover and the only ones i have seen are for the 96-00. Where can i get one for my 93? And also, do i have to worry about anything in the engine when i take the bolts off and remove the cover? Nothing will happen right? thanks.

WTF are you talking about? details man

are you talking about the red jdm valve cover for the DOHC engine? they make a similar wannabe type by Tenzo for SOHC valve cover.

Take yours off and paint it one day if you really want one...

if you search you will find a lot of information on painting the valve cover. I've seen some pics of a few that used chapstick to cover the vtec letters and wrinkle paint for the valve cover. The best ones however are powder coated.

so what kind of valve cover are you looking for? you never said. i'm pretty sure you can put the 96-00 sohc valve covers on your 93. at least the z6 and y8 looks similar.

yup the valve covers between the 1.6L are interchangeable.
