Sourced a spare set of cams, From a 96 Camry 5SFE Options

[Celicav]

Well, as some of you realize, I am serious about doing the Webcam regrind project that Dustin has done. I was able to source a cylinder head from a large junkyard that specializes in imports. The head was from a 96 Camry 5SFE. The camshafts are in great shape, and I took the head by a professional machine shop to make double sure, and the guy told me it was all good.

So, I am going to send them off to get the regrind, but I have first been working on some supporting mods like a Magnaflow 2.25 catback exhaust (I hope to add a hi flow cat soon too), the infamous Ebay header, the Injen SRI (or I may stay with the K&N drop in, I don't think it will make much difference except for the noise), and I just painted my valve cover Black

I'm thinking about staying with a black theme under the hood, and eventually painting the header using this:

VHT Header Paint

Let me know your thoughts about the set up and if anyone has knowledge of this header paint.

i wouldnt bother with any kind of "paint"
hit up ebay for some techline coatings ceramic paint.
you paint it on, and cure it by driving the car.
horniak "itchyb" used it with great results, and steff (hurley97) got some for both her and dustins turbo manifolds.
they actually make a chrome like finish one, that looks pretty much like chrome, and protects like ceramic coating.

Thanks Manny! I will do this. I'll probably do the regular ceramic paint, but not before I install it. If you think it's a bad idea to wait, let me know (if it matters at all).

Just follow the instructions on applying the ceramic paint. I'm prettty sure you have to do it before the install
