So ive been researching this since i got my car and cant find an answer anywhere. My valve cover has like small dents in it. Makes my engine look horrible. The hood isnt doing it and theres no way they are being caused underneath. And u deffinatly know the previous owner didn't do it. Anyone know what might have caused them?

 

A magical unicorn.....

Pics would help

 

Unfortunately the only picture i have of under the hood its impossible to see them. Ill take a better picture tomorrow and post it.

 

Driving with the hood propped up in heavy hail?

 

An ex smacked it with a hammer? Fat guy fell on it?

 

Chuck Norris punched it with his pinkie-finger?

 

Mandingo slapped it with his dick?

 

He's completly oblivious to the fact that it easly could have been dented when it was off the car at somepoint.

 

? if it wasnt you then it definitely was the previous owner.

hood could have been damage and replaced but not the VC

 

Gremlins, have you been feeding them after midnight?

 

Here is a picture of the valve cover up close. I got a good laugh from all the replys i got. Luckily im an easy going guy. Anyone have any real thoughts though?

 

Lol...ur cute. Thats the plug wire cover, and they arent dents. That would be the result of a **** paintjob.

 

The evil gremlins got to it

 

Those aren't dents. Like the other guy said, that's the paint bubbling/separating from the spark plug cover due to shitty paint and/or shitty prep work before painting.

 

just fish eyed paint because who ever painted it didnt clean and prep the sparkplug cover.

You painting it since the previous owner didnt

 

I didnt paint it and the previous owner was a family member who bought it online. ( had to dig through old receipts to find that out) He either got it from a shitty company cause it was red when purchased according to the receipt. Thanks for the help. Ill have to repaint it i suppose.

 

Spark plug cover caught the herp

 

Found a perfectly fine black one stashed in my trunk. Exactly what i wanted anyway because i want to paint the block yellow and wanted a black spark plug cover. Now i got one on that doesnt have "the herps"

 

Just use airplane stripper to get the **** off and prep it properly and paint black
