Nissonda's BUILT engine finally looks new again!

[@sergiotorres9850]

spoon yellow with VTEC lettering for the valve cover😂

[@rocksandals]

Came here to say this. Make sure he sees it!!!

[@nicksessions2072]

Hell yeah

[@Dylanschillin]

Make him see this shit

[@Nick_Tank]

Bump

[@brandonsparks3556]

This!

[@Giorgos3434]

You should paint the cover spoon yellow !

[@ColonelOscarMike]

"Stovebright", used for refinishing woodburning stoves. High temp, got metal flake in it, dries pretty quick. We also use it aerospace on rocket engine chambers.

[@tommylyeah]

🤔

[@pimpaliciouscandycanemane738]

Guessing the satin black has flake in it? Very curious as I’ve been looking for a good quality paint in an aerosol can!

[@fallenbullseye]

top mount fuel rail all the way. i thought about silver for the valve cover. maybe hydro dip an image of tucker on it?

[@Espartan7095]

Jimmy has the best time lapse music of all the car KZbinrs

[@Crodgers88]

Lofi rocks man

[@xDoyle514]

“Nobody has time to zinc coat bolts” tommy fyeahs ears are ringing right now

[@michalgc12]

i thought of tommy immediately lmao

[@maxlong6952]

THE CLIP WITH B HALL AND GRANDMAS COOKIES LMFAOOOOO!!!!!

[@jessepullins358]

GRANDMA OAKES GONNA FREAK

[@decoayubi786]

I like watching jimmy because he’s a smaller channel. You are a beast and love that you are very professional with your videos and budgeting!

[@Tobias_Kuhnau]

Yo tell DJ to stop sleeping and get his Silvia fixed!

[@eastslidah]

Converts Civic to rwd, full 240 setup. "Is a top feed too extra"?

[@nicklatimer961]

😂😂👌

[@bagelbandit6076]

Bro, he likes that Almost but nothing close OEM look. Don’t judge the man. Ha ha

[@cole6378]

just go GOLD for the cover

[@ChuckyCheegles]

No

[@AnBu971]

Jimmy, you’re the 🐐 of ballin on a budget. Keep it up dude

[@CarlosEfrain227]

I seriously just love when you refresh engines. I love it! also I love the black on silver. it looks super clean so that's my vote 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DRIFT_APPROACH]

Polish the valve cover 👍🏻

[@thefunkosaurus]

And Greek his girl.

[@bimmerboi01]

Jimmy deserves 10× more views and 10× more subs

[@aaronraymond5121]

Got home from work.. out of 28 notifications.. clicked on yours first..always stoked to see your builds

[@22boost]

8:39 dripping from intake manifold, I’m sure you took care of it tho. Keep it up Jimmy. Wrinkle blue covers look dope but not sure against the red...

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

BOOSTFEDMR2 wrinkle blue is pretty unique nowadays. Don’t see too many people using it

[@joedvorak1077]

Saw that too lol

[@thebakerygarage]

10:25 starting to realize that Tommy has been doing it right. No seek diss but i really think you should zinc plate the bolts, the car deserves it Jimmy. Quality over quantity.

[@ajsauter8017]

Yellow! You need that 90’s Honda “Ketchup and Mustard” set up!

[@theonlybeas]

its so satisfying seeing an old engine cleaned up and reassembled.

[@mrwhite7222]

Really gonna run that line over the top of the valve cover?

[@cerevo]

I loooove this project! You don't hardly see anyone doing Ka's and as someone whose ready to pull the trigger on doing Ka things, I appreciate it!

[@V1_JFN]

Absolutely have such an OEgasm when you utilise factory bits, it's just so subtle and clean.

[@littlechub9780]

Honda Civic Jordan Yellow, look mint and keep it kinda Honda 😉👌🏻

[@CarlosSanchez-zr5oi]

Jimmy seems so genuine as a person 10/10

[@michaelkraus7109]

Reloaded the home page, saw Jimmy posted... clicked immediately lol Also do the valve cover either white or blue.

[@tcmonster]

You honestly can't go better than gloss black on red. Looks dope

[@klaytonmeyer3895]

white for valve cover 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻

[@suzukagms]

Second this, a creamy white would look mint 👌

[@wbazzel96]

And do the letters in red

[@lachlanarchibald744]

PEARL WHITE VALVE COVER FOR SURE! Goes with everything, and would look super tidy and clean

[@Cooobie]

Wet blast that valve cover 😁

[@bradhughes613]

yeah, this gets my vote

[@SethHollingshead]

Jimmy can go to a paint store and buy all base coats clear coats and any primers mixed and made for cans. Single stage paints as well. We always paint engines epoxy primer scuff pad it then base and clear. As long as it’s sanded all prepped spray paint will stay. Have to think it’s gonna bake with all that heat. That paint your using is good stuff though. Your prep work is what matters on all things.

[@scrapsteenlifeintheforks1943]

You guys are putting in so much work, dont burn out bro's.

[@krx_kid9104]

Spoon yellow, Mugen Grey-Olive, or Honda Blue that you find on the H series and F series motors!

[@kevschillvibes_1322]

Love it when I go on my hour break, theirs a jimmy oakes video to watch. I say oay the value cover either red or a niice gunmetal

[@brandonrichter6910]

Gunmetal gray. It gives a nice transition from the shiny aluminum parts to the red bay, and as the aluminum parts dull over time itll match

[@pushtherear2890]

VHT has never did me wrong, probably the best paint the auto parts store carry.

[@joeynelson4091]

My friend just used standard automotive primer and enamel paint,he useda paint gun,still looks great and we werein high schoolback then..20yearsbro

[@jakes_liftedxj4421]

The wrinkle black looks super clean and oem on the valve cover .

[@95turbostang21]

Jimmy you should get a orbital sander and sand just the very top of the lettering on the valve cover enough to remove the paint so it has the aluminum look on the letters

[@meangreenrt7608]

You could also wire wheeled the bolts and sprayed STA-BIL Rust Stopper to give the bolts some water/heat resistance

[@Ottienger]

Por15 works amazing on engines. They only recommend to paint it is if it exposed to uv for long exposure. Engine would be okay. Painted an engine block and it looked like the day I painted it 4 years later

[@michaelalexander129]

DJ making a comeback now just need to see his Silvia back up and running and as always Jimmy out here killing it with the fire

[@bryanglenn123]

Dude, "Wrinkle Red" It, then stencil "DOHC" on one side and "VTEC" on the other! Lol People would think at first glance it was a B16 GSR!!

[@dethdeks]

Make sure to sand down where the starter sits or it wont ground properly. Had this issue when i painted my ka. Sanded it down and she works flawlessly now

[@JM-nd3ps]

Great...now I have to make a roadtrip to StayGold and get my stuff done!

[@The_Impulse]

2 part single stage paint. Basically I use the same kind of paint on the body of my car as I do the engine. Stays shiny and easy to clean with a pressure washer.

[@Jack-kv5hj]

8:39 saw some water come out of your manifold dude, sure u knew probably just break cleaner but couldnt sleep if i didnt say😂

[@madmutiny]

STEEZED I’m watching this on my Xbox right now and got on my phone just to comment that there’s water in the manifold too lol.

[@stefansabella289]

Favorite build on KZbin in a long time

[@CJKlutch]

If its a metal valve cover. Powdercoat it kingsport grey. I did my procharger that color with a little copper flake and it looks great!

[@matthewpostlewait1857]

For some reason I dig the black valve cover that's on it now...kind of looks like a bad ass sleeper

[@scottdh28]

100% wrinkle red. Vht makes it and looks great. You might have to run around to a few Part stores to find it but someone in town will stock it

[@ctco223]

The only reason I would go with a different color is for a hydrodipped image or design. That wrinkle black is CLEAN!!!!

[@ctco223]

EDIT just saw Bronze in one of the comments...that could be sick as well.

[@wernerdutoit9709]

Best way to end a long day is watching you guys grind like bosses and just enjoying what you do👌🤘 much respect and motivating💪

[@thecanucklehead3034]

This things coming together so nicely. You guys make it look easy🔥

[@alexpodolsky3245]

When he says yesterday he says yes-taday love it

[@S-Kidz]

The KA when it's simplified and cleaned up looks pretty legit 👌🏼

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Kinda reminded me of the lady who spit on that gas nozzle to get it to slide in...😂

[@twistedfab9725]

It's ok Jimmy im exactly the same with my hardware on anything I build. Sometimes I even paint bolts to make them blend.

[@reff700]

Magic spit, Jimmy knows his moves

[@davidhovik7176]

I love the wrinkle red idea for the valve cover.

[@23muddigger]

I have a red 9th gen civic and a power coated red valve cover looks really good together

[@timothyalexanderlewis]

Spoon yellow for the cover

[@benrittenhousedotcom]

For valve cover color, like any part on the car, If I want it to stand out I use the color contrast wheel. Using apposing colors on the color wheel makes both colors look more vivid(think van Gogh). Red car/Green valve cover. Lots of interesting green paint codes, Grabber Green, Sublime, Dodge viper or 70s lamborghinni green. A british racing green would be nice and understated. but Red is never a bad choice. Add flake, pearl, oil slick! so many options!

[@jbabbsgarage1225]

Heck yea. Lookin good man for real. The wrinkle red valve cover would be pretty sick though dude. Goes along the theme of it too I think. Pretty iconic color for the honda really. You could go like spoon yellow or blue too. That be pretty wild lol

[@slimer240]

Before you guys take the car to the track you may want to build a jig for making the custom mounting points for the rear suspension incase you have to start cutting up another civic you'll have the basic dimensions to go off and you can just mark it and cut..

[@FelipeBindo]

for the valve cover, since the engine bay is going to be red, maybe blue like the spoon calipers, or yellow from spoon two, didnt use any spoon part, but will merge pretty good

[@dookiethedukester4643]

Another amazing chapter in the nissonda story. Love it

[@caseywise9728]

With the red bay imo you either need to full send a contrasting color or stick with red or black, personally for the pop factor I'd choose floral yellow/hi-vis green

[@SyDollaSign]

Spoon yellow with some blue accents! Yeah!

[@95turbostang21]

Jimmy I hope you see this but at 8:37 you have water dropping out of the intake and you can see it puddled in the throttle body flange

[@connorlabbett9786]

Bronze valve cover.... Really goes with red!

[@governmentequalsmindcontrol]

I second this ! Bronze for the win! 👌🔥🔥🔥

[@klaytonmeyer3895]

bronze or like i said white would look clean 🧼

[@zetagynz]

More specifically; Satin Bronze Ceracoat 😍😍

[@paulweaver7729]

Top Feed all day! In the UK if you buy a Honda especially a Type R they will generally come with a Red valve cover, with the red of the car I think it would go really well. The Skittles packet wrap look is what i would go for LOL!! Something different. Anyway Big Up to you Jimmy and all the Boys!!

[@InfluenceBeats]

nice to see your engine building standards on the up and up!

[@MRTuning704]

Rust-oleum High Professional enamel black is good stuff btw most spry paint holds heat up to 1000 degrees but if you engine is getting past 300-400 there’s problems But I use normal spry paint on brake calipers and valve covers- blocks all the time

[@ItsMeTweeziiie]

I personally think a very glossy pearl color would look dank!!

[@dd10088]

Hey Jimmy, I've used the motor coater system from KBS Coatings on my last couple engines. It holds up really well and they've got a bunch of different colors. I love seeing the progress on Nissonda-keep up the good work:)

[@OnlyDamp]

I agree with dj keep the top feed it looks sick!

[@thesam101]

Also known as vapour blasting. I had a load of parts done for my SR and they went white and furry pretty darn quickly. Need to put something on them to seal the surface.

[@CompressorSurge]

Sam would most people just clear coat it after it as vapor blasted?

[@thesam101]

@@CompressorSurge that would work. I used a product by Valvoline called Tectyl Multipurpose Clear which is like a hard wax coating.

[@CompressorSurge]

Sam that’s sounds better

[@S-Kidz]

Top feed man looks really good 👌

[@autumntree3999]

Valve cover color idea, cherry metallic red with a gloss enamel coating on it it will make the engine bay pop a little bit with the bright aluminum parts and the block being black. The red of the car will make it pop a little more

[@autumntree3999]

Black lettering, and or bare metal lettering. The bare metal would match the aluminium parts and make the whole engine bay pop a little more and be a little more satisfying to the eyes.

[@mikeh2296]

Go black!!!!!!!!! Love the fuel rail 💪😎👍 bold chrome and black looks sweet

[@Veggiephill]

Gunmetal gray with some dank flakes on the valve cover would look 🔥 with the red bay

[@williamfoster4268]

Use anaerobic gasket sealer next time instead of RTV, it won't block oil passages if you apply too much.

[@emilydaniel5494]

It's all coming together!

[@mozeusmeister5758]

Polished valve cover. Black and silver engine in the red bay would look clean and not so "cheap" as some bright unmatching colour. Except Teal or bluish mint green goes with the red fine 😁

[@ironpony42]

Paint the valve cover a non metallic grey, like the Destroyer Grey Dodge Challenger - It's not black so it won't disappear, it's not red so it doesn't over do the red under the hood already, and it's simple and will fit in. Or hydro dip it some crazy pattern. I know you're a Nissan guy, but I'd like to see what you'd do with a '89-'91 RX7.

[@chadderbomb3779]

Electron Blue Pearl!! Best OEM Honda color on a civic

[@lost_grip]

Definitely the spoon yellow with vtech letting as mentioned!!

[@brandonbellacima66]

Wrinkle red for sure. It will pop on the engine bay 👍🏻

[@Ltbookum]

Current day motorcycles often have mat bronze side covers. That would work with red.

[@morenokid12]

@jimmy I think bronze goes with red while still looking mechanical.

[@The_Impulse]

That oil filter housing looks like it had an allen head plug on it next to the oil pressure port. You don’t need to “T” off the oil pressure line with a fitting

[@dustinfrye4749]

Top mount fuel rail and go with metallic black for the valve cover

[@j.t.4544]

I think doing the OEM wrinkle red on the valve cover would tie everything together. Would look clean👌

[@michaelhall9281]

I think a silver or a frost white would look good in that engine bay with the red!

[@travistaylor8122]

Could have it hydro dipped in pineapples

[@PhillTheVwGuru]

I was thinking hydro dip the milky-way

[@yjmoneypit]

Very cool good progress. Get the vale cover plolished look, sorry dont no them well if it plastic or not, or maybe be pinaple yellow with pineapple lines on it

[@dromcarra]

Spoon yellow for the valve cover would look good in it

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Damnit jimmy! You should’ve used satin clear on all the aluminum parts! They’re gonna oxidize real fast, especially in the northeast

[@robbyfink693]

Gold for the valve cover would look awesome with red
