valve covers as well as alt were painted. Worst mistake ive made.. The clear cooked n turned yellow. Eeeechhhh.. But im planing on getting me some polished ones. So its all good.

You might laugh at me but I used plastic textured outdoor furniture paint for my valve covers and they turned out great, no problems yet. Stuff sticks like crazy and is super durable.

Painting valve covers is touchy, I wouldnt use typical paint/ clear which is why I chose this stuff.

Looks good. Im always down for doing it on the cheap side, were I can.. But since im going to a standalone ecu and cop's... Ill just get a set from a 98 lincoln mk viii n sand n polish the crap out of them. Lol

Good luck, polishing is lots of work lol.

It was easy, 6 or 7 dollar can of paint, some 220 grit sand paper and goo gone.

polished valve covers look great! just alot of hardcore sanding and then hardcore polishing! but when you do this make a thread because i too want polished valve covers cheap, lol

ohh , yee of small patience.. I polished my sullivan intake. Only took me a week of sore finger tips to do it to a mirror shine. I can literaly shave of off the reflection.. Valve covers I may just chemicaly remove the paint sand blast them n have a company chrome them. Not sure yet on wich route to take on them. My alternator is chrome plated n looks badass. If I do decide to polish I will take plenty of pics n do a writeup on it. But I can guarantee if you dont have tons of patience, its not for you.

Anybody know of anyone using megasquirt on their modular engine on this forum. I have lots of questions.

forcefedhatch · Jul 12, 2012

No but it's pretty straight forward as long as its configured properly, if your megasquirt is setup for a dizzy car I know on my ms1 I have to add a resistor and remove another, for that or edis configuration,plus create a bridge for hall output.. Pretty straight forward on the diyautotune website,

Lol. Thanks, but I already knew that. I have their latest n gratest. Its the ms2 with the upgraded ms3x board n all the harnesses n drivers to run coil on plug.. I just need a start up tune to get the ball rolling.... Base maps n stuff. Im going to start making my harness this weekend on a dummy engine I have sitting outside... I may just fiddle around with the auto tune function N see if it gives me what I need.

Yeah analyzer live is pretty descent, just fill in your engine constants, fire pulses, and injector open time(pulse widths), after that the cranking and after start enrichment.. And your set..
