Just found this vid looking how to sensibly get the cam cover off to do the valve clearances. Now I'm off to buy paint and new shiny bits! I know I'm late to the show, but really nice vid, well put together mate thank you.
Thanks mate, yeah no worries… I appreciate the comments and you taking the time to watch. Having had the paint on for a while it hasn’t lasted as well as I’d hoped. Maybe a few more coats and a heat resistant lacquer would be a good idea. Unless you’re going crinkle finish in which case don’t worry about the lacquer 👌🏼
I was tempted to keep it OG or even wrinkle black... but i thought black and yellow look quite nice together. Thanks for watching bud, appreciate it. :)
Thanks bud, I think the answer to both of those questions is yes. There will be torque settings, and I’d imagine the proper way to tighten it down would be from the centre out, if that makes sense. Normally I like to use proper torque settings but I’ll admit I have no idea what they are for this, so I did it by feel. I’m not too worried as this is t likely to see much stress on it, unlike brake callipers or cam caps where it would be a bit silly to ‘wing it’. If you know what I mean? 😀
if you attemp this job, dont get paint on the inside of the cam cover, this will flake off, then mix with the oil, then block your oil ports, then good bye engine, also smear some honda bond on the head at the 4 corners, where the seams are, or the gasket will leak, and you will have to restart the process😁
Totally worth it, makes a massive difference to the engine bay, i'd love a K-tuned dip stick too but they're ridiculous expensive. thanks for watching. :) I've subb'd you back mate too.
Thanks bud, yeah it’s not a bad job to be honest. I think the biggest cost (if you ignore the shiny bits) is the new seal, then the paint which was like £15 maybe £6 for paint stripper. Give yourself a day so it’s not a mad rush. Appreciate the kind words mate.🙌🏼😃
@@yardspeed13 definitely something else to many Milano Red Fn2 with red parts. I might go gloss black with white cover and white lettering 🤷♂️ but do exhaust manifold cover gloss red with white writing. That’s my first thought not sure how it will look though

looks great mate. tempted to get the anodized ones myself
Nice, I haven’t seen those… there’s definitely loads of good options out there. Thanks for watching bud
Great video mate. That colour is spot on 👍

No worries mate. You definitely made the right choice with that yellow 👌
Looks great mate, is there a torque setting and tightening sequence when u bolt the rocker back down?

@@yardspeed13 cheers mate. Yeah I'm going to do mine and I agree with u as long as there's a good gasket seal it shouldn't matter to much.
@@leeharvey3690 bang on my dude, deffo do it, makes a big difference to the appearance of your bay IMO.

Good advice.
Great video, definitely something I would like to have a go at on mine

Awesome work and video thanks for the upload, was thinking of doing mine and this video gives me a bit more confidence, wish me luck
Thanks mate, you’ll smash it… dead easy, just take your time, it makes a big difference to the bay once done 🙌🏼
Good luck! 😀
Great Job, cheers for that! I'm better equipped to attempt mine now!
No worries mate, glad it helped 👍🏼
Goid job mate.
Very nicely done - think I’ll give mine a go

Thanks mate, the man himself! used to watch your vids bud, you should get back to it. 🙌🏼🤙🏼
After paint stripper bosh in to the dishwasher you go, but do it when the missis is out
You could do that… I just jet washed mine. I think the Mrs would kill me if I used the dish washer 😂
Amazing job well done.
Thanks buddy… I appreciate the comment :)
Looks awesome 🔥. You don’t fancy doing mine do you 😁
Thanks mate, it was a bit of a ball ache... not sure if fancy doing it again... XD What are you doing with yours, same colour or something else?

@@DriveWayRay like that… yeah I’d agree with you on the Red Black done to death. Nothing wrong with it mind.
@@yardspeed13 yours stands out on its own right looks fresh and frankly has some originality about it which is exactly what I’m looking for
Looks great Thank you video helps alot.
Thanks for watching, glad the videos are helping some people, i appreciate the kind words bud.
Better change your hot air intake
Sure thing boss
