Valve cover on a 1982 300D, aluminum?
1982 300D
The engine is cast iron (right?), but is the valve cover aluminum? Thanks, Pete. |

Cool, I'm going to polish it. Anybody know what can be applied to it after to slow tarnishing, but still withstand engine heat?
Pete. |

Powder coatings........however chip it or scratch it and then you will wish you never did it....but thats true of most coatings.
I've considered jet-hot coating my intake and exhaust manifolds......just haven't justified the cost/benifit thing yet.

Or, you could put some polish on it.
Gord's is supposed to be a polish/sealant for aluminum. http://gordsaluminumpolish.com/index.html Not the miracle cure-all they claim, it didn't do much of anything to my whitened aluminum trim, but it might at least prolong the shine a little once you have the valve cover polished. |
