Step 6Reinstalling the valve cover, Final Overview
Once you've put on the last coat of paint, let it dry for a few hours, just to make sure you can touch it. This is what I had to do because I have a rubber gasket. Once the paint had dried, I got some oil on a rag and wiped it all over the gasket, and put it back in the valve cover, to help seal it. I then repeated the removal process, just backwards. Valve cover, nuts and bolts, obstructions.
Once the valve cover has been put back on, and everything is tight and secure, start up your vehicle. Drive into town, and buy yourself a soda or a slushy or something for a job well done award. Once you drive back home, or drive around a few miles, park the car for a day or so. Come back out, and take a look at your valve cover! It's shiny, and well painted, and in the color you've wanted. You're done! Now go show your friends.
