the performance autowerks valve cover, can someone tell me the difference between cut and uncut lettering? no idea what that is, and what is the right color that would work with say hahn red charge pipe, the candy red or gloss red?

 

cut or uncut lettering probably has to do with wether you want the lettering to be silver like stock or red like the valve cover my john powell one is red with silver ecotec and id say gloss red would be best but need a pic lol

 

ya i need to see a pic to compare as well. lol how does the silver lettering look on painted cover?

 

there are The VC from Modern performace. give you an example of what it would look like.

 

When you swap the valve cover, do you need anything else besides a new valve cover gasket?

 

you can reuse the gasket if youd like, but no, nothing else is needed.

 

i replaced mine and you need a valve cover removal tool for that lil line on the back its a biatch to get off lol

 

My car only has 30k, but is it worth to chance it for $28??? Prolly not...

 

up to you, im not saying you shouldnt. i've had 3 or 4 VC on my car and didnt change the VC gasket. its the rubber CYlindrical kind that pushes into a grove in the VC. its like an O ring, unless you tear it or pinch it it will be fine.

 

k i dont get it, the valve cover is 80 bucks, but if u send urs back they give u 150? so they give more for urs than u pay for a painted one? or are they gonna add 150 onto the 80 if i dont send it back

 

Link?

 

They charge you a core charge. if you dont return yours your stuck with it. if you do then its refunded.

 

ya i know how that works, but when i added the cover to shopping cart, its just says 79.99

 

buy a gasket dont cheap out there like $20 at dealer

 

yup i know

 

Gonna order mine today, does anyone do a a similar exchange for the intake manifold?

I'm thinking red for the valve cover, what do you guys think on the IM???

 

Just installed a black valve cover (done by powell racing) on my HHR SS

 

haha rissa has purple vc and im and they had alot of problems with the im i have red valve cover but left my im alone for good reasons...

 

My IM is black. Previous owner did it but it looks good.
