Painted valve cover pain in oil
3 Attachment(s)
Hey guys as seen in the pics below I installed a painted valve cover in March of 2018 and the paint is chipping on the outside and inside. I'm not concerned with the external paint as it's cosmetic however I am concerned with the paint chipping on the inside.
What internal engine damage if any should I be concerned with knowing that chipped paint is potentially cycling through my engine in my oil? Attachment 62285Attachment 62283Attachment 62284 |
Best case is it clogs your filter sooner. Worst case (and more likely) it clogs your pickup screen and/or small orifices and tubes. I would get that paint removed ASAP.

I found the flakes of paint in my pick up tube screen when that happened to me, but that wasnt the reason the engine went.
I agree that you should swap covers or take that one off and clean all the internal painted sections off. |
Thanks for the feedback guys I'll remove the painted one and pop back on my original.

Who paints internal engine parts? :r:
