So tomorrow morning, before it gets hot as balls,

im going to take apart my engine, and paint the "valve cover?" i grew up working on muscle cars lol... and paint the headers. Right now, i am kinda torn between just painting my headers, or cleaning them up, and then wrapping them... im not sure... advice guys?


also i just dropped a K&N high flow air filter in it instead of the almost cardboard one that was in there. I can already tell a difference.

And while im doing all this, im gonna change the oil with Castrol GTX and the K&N wrench off filter.

Unless they are aftermarket, neither.

I don't think you should bother with either of the ideas. The only useful mod was your K&N. Painting headers and cleaning fenders have no useful value.

painting headers = rice. Clean em and wrap em w/ heatwrap. though I don't see a point of wrapping it because its not anywhere near the intake or a turbo.
