Is removing the valve cover hard? i assume pull the normal stuff off like plug wires and those obvious nuts, plus the one or two near the electrical wire (entering from the front). Do i need to cover it to protect it from dust and such while I'm painting? Idk whats under it

Looking good
I am going to be replacing my valve cover gasket soon, so I figure I'll paint it while its off. Did you do any sanding before hand and did you primer? I will probably go with gold as well to match the wheels.. what brand spray paint is that? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Dupi-color....I did not sand at all jut cleaned it up with degreaser....SVT its real easy take off the nuts there are 6 then had to unplug the alt. to move the cables out of the waythen used a flat head screw driver and a rubber mallet and it came right off.

Well what, so hand tight? Tighened with a wrench? I understand it isn't ft/lbs, but I do not have a BGB or owners manual or anything like that, so when I take care of my valve cover gasket (probably this weekend) I don't want to over tighten it and break something, you know? Really would not make my weekend...
