hey, popped my bonnet this morning, and noticed rust bubbles on the rocker cover of my 4G15... anyone else had this problem?

they are quite small, i have never really noticed them today as i was cleaning my engine.. what the **** man?

any help, would be bloody great, i hope this has nothing to do with water in the engine.

I would not be too worried, although I have never heard of this before, I am sure it is nothing to worry about. Take the rocker cover off, have a look around, strip it back and paint it.

 

k, i might pop down the wrteckers n grab another 1 to be safe, n paint that one bright pink !

thanks Mivec.

Haha rexhunta.......always brings a bit of life into the forum. BRIGHT PINK well that would be different.

 

Post us a photo when you are done.

 

hehe, i have ordered a can of bright pink heat paint, as i am gunna paint my radiator, but that was a montha go.. and still havent recieved it !

 

Dude, won't heat-proof paint effect the cooling ability of the raditor, by decreasing the heat transfer? As far as I'm aware, u want as much heat to emit off the raditor as possible.
I've seen plenty anodised/plated, but heat proofed...?

 

i used heat paint so the paint won't come off, i asked to radiator place if its good and he said thas fine

 

So it's heat-proof paint, as compared to heat-PROOFING paint, as used on exhaust manifolds and the like? How easy is it to remove the rocker cover to paint it? Whats involved - is there anything to be espeacially carefull of?
