Does anyone know where the most inexpensive Red JDM H22 OEM Valve Cover can be found? Any help would be appreciated.

 

I got mine from jhpusa.com

 

Ive found some on ebay for about 100... not sure if the sellers are reliable, but take a look.

 

just paint your stock one red if you dont wanna throw down big bux.. youll prob save about 100 bux

edit: i also heard the valve covers on ebay(OBX) leak

 

yeah you just need to find some red rinkle paint

and i thought the obx or what ever where oems just repainted

 

yeah the OBX ones are powder coated

 

all u need is primer, aircraft remover or something like that and wrinkle paint. viola. u have urself a red valvecover.

 

So what color is it actualy? wrinle viola or wrinkle red?

 

lol wrinkle viola isnt a color, he was just sayin viola all you need is red wrinkle paint primer or adhisive promoter both work well and aircraft paint remover

then you use the paint remover all over it takeing off all the paint then use the primer or adhisive promoter then use the red wrinle paint and the more coats u use the more wrinkle it will have

I see flaming is alive and well. GOD forbid I do not know everything there is to know about a prelude or restoring it. I guess if I did I would not need this forum.

 

Ok, let me make sure I am getting this correctly.

The items I need are:

#1, red wrinkle paint
#2, primer or adhisive promoter
#3, aircraft paint remover

Let me know?

If I were you I would also invest in a new valve cover gasket and spark plug grommets. Some people recommend hondabond to help seal also.

I bought the seals awhile back and if I remember right it was about $16 total from the honda dealership, which BTW is the only place you should get those seals from.

I always thought that the OBX H22A valve covers were F20B replicas. Look at the front of the valve cover.

does anyone know how much hondabond is?

I heard that you are supposed to put it on the side where the timing belt is.

ONE MORE THING: Get the torque specs on the valve cover studs/nuts. I broke one barely giving it anything. It sucked, had to wait 2 days to get one and they are about $3 each. I think it is 7 ft/lbs but I am not sure.

 

hondabond cost like 20 bucks

 

while your at it, go incognito...

 

OK, I know I sound like a SPED (not an invitation for flamming) but I just want to be sure before I move on. The pic I have attached is the color I am looking for. That is wrinkle red?

 

vht makes a wrinkle red you don't need an adhesive promoter for. just get some aircraft remover to pull the old paint off, blast clean, tape up anything you want still shiny, and paint. you may need a dremel to get into areas you missed with the tape or tomake them super shiny, but that's it.

 

VHT makes the wrinkle paint, and so does Duplicolor. I found red & black Duplicolor at my local Autozone, but I could only find the black VHT paint locally. They both do essentially the same thing, and the Duplicolor was only $4.99. if you order it online you end up paying more for shipping than you do for the actualk can of paint....

 

yep. damn hazardous shipping fees. go to your local body shop or hot rod shop, they usually have the whole vht display. or summit racing sells them for pretty cheap.

 

IM'd

 

I just painted mine on my 4th gen. Took like two days bc I took my time and did a couple extra coats. And it only cost me like five bucks.

 

now its done this is only 4 coats i just wish the color was more flat

 

i have a jdm h22 and my valve cover is black dont spend 200 bucks to be M4D JDM YO
