what colour shoudl i paint my rocker covers?

I'll give you a serious answer: Either get them polished ... or painted gunmetal grey. Depends on what you do with the rest of the under-bonnet components.

If you're going braided hoses etc, polish the covers. It would suit the white engine bay too.

thanks ruby

still not sure what i gonna do, wanna do something tho was thinking of maybe painting them blue and then re doing my calipers blue aswell

Ah ha! So the Stag has influenced you!!! :)

You should know better by now than to post up a "what to do with my car" request Cara. You'd rarely get a sensible answer. The answer you want is in those car mags you've collected ... have a browse and see what works for you. :)

i think theres a how to on SAU somewhere Cara, i think there is a couple of things to look out for when your prepping them for paint.

True. I've got all the equipment at home from back when I was a spray painter, Cara. If you got some Qs, just ask. When you decide on the colour to paint them, you can borrow my gear to do it. :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
