I own a 95 M edition and that gold should look real good on it. Good job.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Awesome! And thank you 🙏

[@xXbyebyegirl01Xx]

Ah this is so ameteurish but it was a fun video! I loled at the rust inhibitor "in case it rusts out" on an ALUMINUM valve cover hahahaha

[@robertobetancourt7881]

Gold looks Great . Shock to the eyes

[@RatchetWrenches]

Roberto Betancourt thank you! Yeah it’s an eye popper for sure

[@gerardoescobedolobatos7498]

[@RatchetWrenches]

Gequeeef Rc that’s awesome! I’m glad you found us! This is the beginning stages of the build too. But right their such awesome cars. You can get one for pretty cheap so keep lookin

[@peytonbirchem6850]

Keep up the good work, she looks very nice now.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you!

[@ClaudiuB]

Night & Day difference is a common expression there? In my home country we say: "there's a difference from sky to land"

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah it’s a very common expression here. But interesting I like that one!

[@bap7929]

Lookin’ good! The gold was a great choice 👍

[@RatchetWrenches]

Appreciate that! Thanks

[@Joe-fm1mk]

Thanks bruk!

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Super clean hell yea 🔥🔥👀✅

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks dude!

[@mister-amazing]

Love the gild on blue!

[@mister-amazing]

Did it look good still after a year?

[@RatchetWrenches]

We sold the car a while ago but it did hold up fairly well for the time we had it

[@speedygarage264]

Awesome video, man! I need to paint the valve cover on my NB - I'll definitely check out this video again when I do.

[@barndan7000]

Game changer

[@ios6605]

What grit did you use for sandpaper ❓❓❓

[@RatchetWrenches]

I honestly forget this was so long ago. I'd start with something light and not abbrassive and work your way up if needed!

[@gswaybright]

VERY IMPORTANT... The torque diagram you displayed looked like head bolts. It's not at all correct for the cam/valve cover tightening pattern and the cam/valve cover bolts should only be 7 ft-lbs. Did you use high temp paint? Std paint won't last long on engine parts. It looks nice though. I'll be doing a red wrinkle paint on mine.

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

Yeah 50ft lbs would strip out the bolts in a flash.

[@Violianom]

What brand of gold is that? I can't find any VHT with that colour

[@samyouhnis6058]

i would've done a burnt orange. but the gold has a nice pop to it

[@RatchetWrenches]

i believe ik what color you're reffering to and yes that is cool but we prefered the gold

[@echodivy4565]

Wow!

[@samyouhnis6058]

seriously they killed it

[@frazevans7240]

Nice :)

[@RatchetWrenches]

Appreciate that!

[@jackattack6045]

When’s the turbo coming ?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Not sure yet, but most likely within this month or early June

[@mpharr2]

What Grit Sandpaper ?

[@RatchetWrenches]

I forget it's been so long but obviously start off non abrasive and work your way down if need be depending on your valve covers condition!

[@ceddthakid9732]

what gold did you use?

[@RatchetWrenches]

It was a gold rattle can from autozone. I forget the number or name of it though.

[@JavierVillalobos]

I hope you meant 40-50 inch pounds no ft pounds!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yes lol good catch I didn’t even notice

[@ac-hq9zb]

No mask??

[@trinitythemiata2197]

Lmao 50 ft pounds is way too much it’s 7 pounfs

[@RatchetWrenches]

I meant inch pounds which is equal to around 5 ft pounds

[@trinitythemiata2197]

Alr

[@RiverCritter]

I met a kid that paid almost $200 to have one powder coated. I asked why he didn't paint it and spend the money on something else and he just stared at me with his mouth hanging open.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Omg hahah why would you pay that much… it’s such a simple valve cover to paint too 🤣 smh
