Re: Valve cover refurb questions

[Bill M <y1topbanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

Fred,

A couple of things...

If your sandblasting them, make DAMN SURE you have ALL the sand out of
the baffles, then wash/blow/vacuum them out again...THREE TIMES!!!

I'm not sure there was ever stickers from the factory, but someone
(don't remember who) on here makes several very nice looking designs.
If I can find them I'll forward them to you.

Here's a link to a crappy cell phone pic of my engine with the decals
on it. I can take a much better version and send it to you...

I used "Chrysler Industrial Red" for my engine/valve covers and it
looks quite nice.
