So, I have seen some people who have done some paint on the valve cover... Like painted the "16V Zetec" label, or something... What would be required to do this?



I recall taking off my cover to put on a new seal.
I would say it was not hard, but it does take some
time to wrench them bults off. It might not be a bad
idea to buy a new valve cover seal before taking it off.

I need to take mine off and paint it because the paint is
coming off around the oil cap. I guess it gets to hot in-
side my car? I have thought about taping everthing up and
using paper all over the engine to do a light spray on just
that area because I've feeling lazy... then again who in the
heck wants to look at my engine?
