The inside of the valve cover on my tractor was rusted in different places. I sand blasted it, and because of it having been rusty, primed it and now has
one coat of the finish color. Then it hit me that, hmmmmm, maybe that wasn?t so smart because if that paint doesn?t hold up to the oil and begins to
flake off under the valve cover.............probably not so good. Anyone have any experience with this scenario? Thinking I should sand blast the paint
again.
The valve cover breather didn?t look very good and maybe that was why it got rusty in the first place. Have a good used one to replace it. Will the oil
sloshing around underneath help retard the rust if properly vented?
