Why the Skunk2 Racing Magnesium Valve Cover is the Best in the Industry!

[@93jdmmike]

sick but we need B series next please

[@Clutch81]

Would be perfect one of those magnesium valve covers for the K20C1 to replace the plastic stock one. Nice job Skunk2 👍🏻

[@IchiiMedia]

I 2nd this motion! 👏

[@tuurbow]

A 10 minute video and the height difference between valve covers is not even mentioned.

[@Skunk2Racing]

0.75" lower at timing chain, 1.75" lower at spark plug face

[@MangoKev]

Skunk2 always leading from the front. Enjoy these videos and love the Hond-esque styling. Always thought the k20 looked bland.

[@markwgundert4251]

Also with billet, when you remove a significant amount of material from an aluminum brick, the material starts to distort making it difficult to maintain it's final intended shape.

[@danielksong]

Can you plug the dash-8 barbed fitting in the rear of the cover? Do you have a plug for this?

[@Doctor_Adam]

Can you please make one for the L15-B7?

[@hks071]

Fun fact, honda used magnesium cover on honda city turbo 2 in the 80s

[@audirx8]

Can it be anodized? If not what is that grey gunmetal Powdercoat or Cherokee coating?

[@bluesrike]

I hope you guys would consider a dry sump version of this as well.

[@Wolf-or6ws]

Can you use the original Honda value cover bolts?

[@chaiyangg]

Am I able to buy a replacement oil dip stick? Looked on the site but nothing was there

[@nepzski]

b series next?

[@proraceer07]

Isn’t magnesium not a good heat conductor? I know Honda used magnesium casing on the TSX manual transmission, they warp over time. Will this do the same?

[@Alexbuilt]

A valve cover sees alot less stress and heat then a transmission

[@Alexbuilt]

Shouldnt really be an issue

[@averyalexander2303]

Can't speak for it's longevity since I don't have one. Magnesium is not nearly as thermally conductive as aluminium, but simply changing the valve cover won't affect the temperature of the oil or anything else in any meaningful way. The fact that it's thinner negates some of the heat transfer penalty anyways, but might make durability somewhat worse. I don't believe the problems with the TSX transmission case have anything to do with heat, but rather the mechanical stress from hard launches, hard shifting, drastic increases in power, etc since magnesium tends to be. Personally I'd stick with the OEM valve cover unless you need something lower profile just because it's proven and they are basically free. The lighter weight is nice, but $100+ per pound saved is too poor of a value for me to be able to justify the expense just for weight reduction, but that's just me.

[@dr.markusraindl1745]

Better on every aspect? Where is the video which does answer the flammability question? What are the testing standards at Skunk2 to ensure these valve covers don't act as a source of fire hazard during engine fire? Did Skunk2 do a fire or flammability test according any of the market entry norms for the automotive industry? Or is this another episode of customer-test-it-first-product?

[@jsat4564]

It's a freakin' valve cover. The OEM does it's job just fine. I'll spend those hundreds of dollars on upgrades that will add function to the vehicle.

[@Hptorque]

Very Very beautiful

[@davegunner2717]

Can it be anodized?

[@cmac12345678910]

Please do more videos like this!

[@jamesgood2919]

Need to offer wrinkle black or wrinkle red match the gsr type r theme

[@Darobotham]

Please put the dipstick in the factory location, so 8th Gen Civics can use it.

[@jimmyyking]

Looks awesome

[@Michal_S0L]

These newer videos are top shit mang

[@rebelelite11]

Is that for k20?

[@averyalexander2303]

The K20 and K24 valve covers are the same, the only difference is the dipstick. The K24 dipstick is longer than the K20 dipstick since the K24 block is about 3/4 of an inch taller- enough to really mess up your oil level if you get the wrong dipstick for the block.

[@nezabytes]

Yep

[@kennygonzalez9117]

How much $$$?

[@larryher1]

Awesome!

[@tonydisabatino]

Offer Gunmetal, Red, Black, White, Yellow, and Blue.

[@ronburgundy4375]

Website says it weights 8lbs

[@hondaguy2532]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Yuyuz_deecifai]

Awesome

[@r.jgraanoogst8195]

I have ONE❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏼

[@Catbert814]

Add to cart

[@gearhead3500]

mercedes benz uses magnesium valve covers from factory

[@awdperformanceboy]

So that valve cover gain 50+ hp 💀

[@LokiLaufeyson93]

But not in a 2015 si dang

[@billywild5440]

Define "clunky". What does "clunky" mean and who cares? Be honest, you don't paint it to save on cost. And how much does this thing cost? Is it worth saving a lousy four pounds?

[@Skunk2Racing]

We don't paint or powder coat them because we know 90% of customers will want to finish it in a custom color for their specific project/build. It makes more sense to offer it raw and ready to customize rather than us deciding a color, customer not liking it, stripping it and re-finishing it.
