I have the valve cover off to clean it off, it was pretty grungy. Its clean to new metal inside and out from electrolysis.

I need some advice on whether I should paint the inside of the valve cover or leave it bare metal. I am going to paint the outside.

Thanks

Paint It With Glyptal Or Put On A Light Coat Of Grease Applied By Hand. Do Not Paint The Inside Of A Valve Cover With Regular Paint.

I think it would be a bad idea unless it was powder coated. I don't know if many paints that could survive in that environment without coming off and gumming up the works.

There is a special paint for this. Go to a good performance shop and they should have it, or at least access to it. I think it was called Glyptal.
