Get valve cover blasted and powder coated #42

Closed jglovier closed 8 years ago

The valve cover paint is chipping like a mofo, and looks like ass. Repainting will likely chip again over time, so powder coating is the way to go. Ike can blast it and he said he has a powder coating guy who could do it for $40 or $50.

Diagram of removing the valve cover (bolt order, etc).
