coating valve covers-check this out!
 

ive been thinking about coating the inside of my valve covers with rubberized undercoating or something of the sort effectively reducing valvetrain noise. i need something that will hold up to oil and heat. does anyone have any ideas?
:think:

You could put Line-X on the outside! Get a louder exhaust or, just turn-up the radio. :D

WD

thats the thing, i still want them to be polished on the outside but still block noise

I dont think you would want to undercoat the valve covers, unless you could ensure that derbis would not fall into the engine.

I have fabbed aluminum valve covers and my valvetrain is loud.

You may have to get heavy cast covers and vave them painted/coated.

I would not put anything on the inside for fear of it getting into the engine. :no:

Oil would decimate the coating in a short period of time and you would have that crap all over the inside of your engine. Not a good idea at all.

Yes, coating is a bad idea.

Besides I like the sound of my valve train!:D

If you can hear your rockers from inside your car, you may need to check out your train rather than trying to mask the noise. JMHO:cool:

My 1.6 s/a Promags made noise like everyone else's. I switched to Scorpion for the added lift and now I don't even notice them.

Why don't you get a set of the black resin (or whatever they're made of) covers. You could probably have them smoothed and painted gloss.

I've heard they keep down noise...

i cant hear them from inside the car but they do tick like normal. but anyways it was just food for thought

jb-weld, or you could try that expandable spray foam... just throwing it out there!

What

Never post while high :lol:

Coating is baaaad, kay?
