Should be fine. You'll probably need a new rubber gasket since you'll probably tear the old one up in the process. They're not expensive. Just make sure to use high temp paint.

What would be the right amount of power to screw the valve cover back on? XX Nm? -------------------- |

Oh man, what was I thinking  in the 3S-GE the valve cover is there hidden under the inlet manifold If i wanna make it look good, I should paint the manifold.. -------------------- |
