nevermind i fixed it. the problem was the arospeed strut bar. BTW dont buy arospeeds products because they dont fit and they never emailed me back or anything. such a bad company. Well yea the strut bar was banging up against the air manifold and almost broke it. As far as the painted valve covers, it was a success. Thanks for the guidelines.

the 400 degree is good enough, just appy a few layers with about a few minutes inbetween coats and make sure you get the whole thing, dont miss a spot like me. After you ride ur car around for a few miles it'll get hot and bake in, but just dont touch it until the next day when it cools.

forget about it, found this...

i'd just go to the dealer if u need it asap. the rule of thumb is that everytime you take out your valve cover is to get a new one and make sure everything is clean b4 u put everything back together. also use a torque wrench to make sure everything is up to spec.

if u wants parts quick i really suggest rockville or ourisman mitsubishi they should both have em in stock. those 2 dealers also supply parts for a few other dealers in the area.

o yea nick, what part of MD u from? im from b-more but from time to time i go home to my parents in ft. wash

but back on topic uhm the dealer can be some asses so i looked up the part number. it should be MD307705
