 Yeah painted valve covers are a nice touch to the engine bay. I had a buddy powder coat mine. Came out really well.  Here's a close up of the pearl. -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

I painted my Valve cover red
 Looks good. I took it and off and masked it. Like i figured...i'm back on here with a problem. Except this time the symptom is way easier to describe. As soon as i turn the key (dont even have to start the engine,) both of my fans turn on. Everything else is normal. Check engine light didn't turn on or anything..

the fans will run constantly if the coolant temp sensor is unplugged. Its a failsafe built in, maybe you accidentally unplugged the sensor (I'm assuming it is on the waterneck but I've never seen this engine so I don't know for sure)

just for accuracy and correction, if you are using SAE socket it is not a 1 1/4 or 1.25, that is too big. 30mm converts to 1 3/16 at the closest measurement.
I read through quick on this thread but did not see a correction. I may be wrong but I just tried a 1 1/4 and that shiets is loose as hell. I use metric tools so I just wanted to try out the SAE socket for verification. This post has been edited by trdproven: Jun 20, 2011 - 4:16 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

How hot does the valve cover get? Would 500 temp paint work well?

That said you need a 30mm socket to remove the 4 nuts on the spark plug tubes that hold the valve cover down. Here is a video that will explain- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DFhHncL8l8...be_gdata_player |
