Pitting on engine

[VegasVMax]

Ive got pitting on my motor and scoops. Has anybody else had this problem?

 

[fullhouse]

From what iv seen this is a common problem

I believe it's the clear coat finish . I removed the clear coat and polished the scoops . They came out rather nice but I'm thinking of getting them chromed with some other parts .

Yep, chrome is the only way to go! The corrosion you have is very common.

auto-sol plenty of it !!!!

 

[PATMAX]

Easy fix

When in doubt...Gas it !!!

Why thank you! Anyone can do it.

I decided to take on the task of cleaning up the valve covers while I was replacing the gaskets. I cleaned them using a red pad on my die grinder then went over them with a red scotch pad and finally a new cote of dupli color clear engine enamel. The job was pretty easy and I really like the results.

Sure did turn out nice !!

Since we're talking Valve Covers, I have some listed as well:biglaugh: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221345514437?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Those don't seem to be plated because the backs don't seem to be very clean. are the polished or painted? He calls them "remanufactured to a thing of beauty"

Just a polish job (which is a pain to do)

In item specifics it says,Surface Finish/Polished. Your right Sean,they were not easy to do.Already sold a pair with no complants, so I listed another pair:biglaugh:

Good job they look nice. Mind pitted just like yours.

I had Sean paint me a set valve covers. I did not feel like massing with them.
And still have not install them yet.
