since im rebuilding my engine...and waiting on the parts, i was thinking of painting my valve cover...but for that i have to clean it 1st.
I've tried a lot of engine degreaser, carborator cleaner and other fluids in my garage... my question is, can i use water? like take it to a self car wash and presure wash it with water and soap? this is what it is right now... ![]() ![]() so can i use water to clean this up or what? if nothing, can i just paint over it? what paint should i use! thank you! also if you guys can help/suggest something on this forum http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=74264 -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

go to autozone and get a can of stuff called aircraft paint remover. its a very strong stripper. let it soak on the valve cover and then wash it of and use a brush. it will look brand spanking new. another option is take it to a shop and have it media blasted. they can use baking soda now and it will wash away.
