Ok wish me luck lol if I f**k it up I'll melt it down make a gun and kill the neighbors dog, how's that for a f**ked up child hood!!!!!! J/k
ha haVery easy. Just unbolt it and pull off a hose, basically.
I never taken any of that off. Does it require unpluging anything that needs prior experience taking off and on?
ha ask and you shall recieve! http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=181538
removing the valve cover is easy there are five 10mm bolts, loosen them up, remove the valve cover recycle tube (tube on the top left, i think thats what it does) and if you have your ground to the valve cover take it off and pry the valve cover off done and done.

That OptimusPrime design is amazing! Im thinking of doing my own rocker cover and stuff, and know quite alot about paints and prep because im doing a course in vehicle body repair (: i was just wondering what paint you guys used?
Well once you get everything sanded properly go with a high heat primer. I did four coats with a engine primer with ceramic two light one heavy/wet then another light to be safe. Then I think you can use a good variety of paints on top of that. The optimus cover looks air brushed.
i love your transformer valve cover.
Thats Adam, an Admin from EJ8squad, The VC isnt painted. Its vinyl. theres a place where he got it done in Tampa.
PM if anyone wants the info: ill have to look it up.
Okay thanks for that (: and tbh ive looked at the image carefully and it looks like a vinyl. Look at the nearest valve bolt, the paint job doesnt cover it, it seems to just stop like a film, plus where its stopped has white underneath. So yea (: lol
Is everything in that bay spray painted? i like the all black
