hey guys i just popped off my valve cover because im going to be painting it. This is the first time ive taken it off, and there is a ton of oil in my valvetrain. It's more than covered, there are literally puddles of it in the valve train, i would say maybe a half inch deep.

anyway, how can i clean this out? it's not supposed to be like this right?

 

i suggest to not clean it out and leave cause thats how it is suppose to be. think about all that metal moving would you want it to be lubed? or just rubbing while it was dry

 

are you kidding me

But what if he's not?

Well, anywho, the first guy already enlightened you. The valvetrain is supposed to be covered with oil. Don't clean it off.

 

Kinda like the idiot who said his trans was backwards?
Either morons or just...asses?

 

Oil in your valve train? It's all over the place?!?! Is it a vtec head? If it is, give it to me, it's worth nothing since there's oil all over it. I can fix it, but it's only cause I have the hook-ups. /sarcasm

 

i really didn't know guys. I figured there should be oil, but in a valve cover painting thread, somone said you can clean out your oil in your valve train if you want.

so i wasn't sure, and i like to double check things thanks *****z

 

this is why mechanics are paid to work on cars...

 

just like the idoit who did it backwards right? FCKING ***!

 

just like that person, yes

 

its supposed to be lubed, if theres no oil there you'll spin a bearing and screw up your motor

 

...because bearings are what supports the valvetrain.............. What??
Where do half of you guys come up with this stuff? Not being a jerk, but if you dont know how an engine works, where parts are, etc...you shouldnt be playing with them.

 

YOU HAVE ALL BEEN PUNKED!!!!

owned!
