Re: Refurbed Rocker Cover and new Seals
cheers for the kind comments
yeah thats impressive 3 rockers covers done from one can of paint and some left over......normally it the other way about - 1 item to paint requires 3.1 cans of paint
Ive ordered up the atr clutch kit and some new flywheel bolts from Honda. Clutch kit was £135 and the flywheel bolts were £3 odd each - all plus vat. Delivery is 1st week of August.
I was going to buy an exedy atr clutch kit off fleabay but got outbid - still a good bargain at £109.99 starting price with no reserve and theres is another one listed at the moment but i think i will just stick with OEM as i know it should last about a decade

Re: Refurbed Rocker Cover and new Seals
was really easy to tbh - it was the hottest day of the year and perfectly still so seemed straight forward and @Merlin suggested using a heat gun to help dry it and that worked well.

Re: Refurbed Rocker Cover and new Seals
thats it - weve used acid etch primer and then straight on with the vht paint and like you said let it dry for 30mins and then use the heat gun to dry it and get it wrinklinghonda-hardy wrote:so what do you do then? just spray it on and let it dry with assistance from a heat gun? got a link for the paint used?
