Getting ready to paint my b16 valve cover this weekend. Got a few questions.
Will one can of wrinkle red be enough to get a nice coverage?
What are the torque specs and tightening order for the valve cover bolts?
AnY links? (i searched but found nothing)
thanks in advance

Yes, 1 can is plenty. Don't know about the tq specs, I'm at work and my manual is at home.

I like the finish, just don't like the the lack of attention to detail. Nice work though!
