valve cover paints

anyone here ever paint or get a new finish put on to their valve covers. ive got one that needs a new skin. its an extra one so its already off the car. so i was wondering if anyone knows a place that will do it or any advice on doing it my self. i would even like to get it painted a cusco style blue as i have other cusco parts in the engine bay and i think its a clean look that will brighten up the engine bay. thanks----

I do have a GM solenoid I'm going to give a try... also I like the idea of the tephra map switching. So looks like I have a lot of homework to do
I've got some extra line, you can get the stuff at home depot long as your getting the right stuff and I have some jets .08mm .09mm & .1mm. I also can get you whatever parts you need or if you want to upgrade to a hsf-1 or hsf-5 I'm assuming you got the old school 2d kit? I've got the map switching harness you could buy off me for a few $ switching to the tephra patch isn't too bad just some editing/copying and modifying xml file action

I'm pissed at the car once again and thinking of putting a ix turbo back on and selling it / trading it for a X or something else??

Dan and I are both running stock ignitions on stock ECU's in our e85 cars, Marc. I doubt standalone equipped cars like yours and Alan's will run into issues with misfire like we are.

There are two reasons you will have misfires, one is you could have picked up a bad batch of E85. Its happen to alot of my customers and I chased issues all over the car and couldnt figure out and the next time they filled up it was fine. The E85 attracts moister and I think sometimes there are just watery batches. This is even on some N/A Honda customer of mine too and not just boost. Second is the ignition system, it takes alot of spark to burn all that fuel. Stock even ignition systems are hit or miss, some are great and some are not. Marc, James and Archie are all running MSD-DIS2s and they work awsome with either Stock DSM coils or the Chrystler coils.

Yeah. I posted earlier that I had better luck from a station that supposedly doesn't winterize their e85.
