What to use to shave the valve cover?
What to use to shave the valve cover?
What are you guys using to shave the letters + words off the valve cover? Low grit sand paper with a block? Sander?
I'm looking for the most cost effective with ease method. Thanks.

Re: What to use to shave the valve cover? (kidkombo)
get a nail filer,...
i think a dremel with the right "tip" or a small grinder will do just find, then sanid it down once its done.
edit: i saw in the other thread they tried to steal your friends car, they deserved to get their *** kicked!
