little something to add to my 2.2 engine

chrome valve cover, dont like the look of polished, and it always a pain to maintain

no more head acked with chrome, just a nice little buff to maintain



many more chrom parts to come, in the next few months

 

howd you do it?

 

purrrrrttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

local chrome shop, i get my chrome done for half price

stef told me it was a $700 job, half price $350

when i went to pick it up, stef told me bah!! $250

i'll wait till november, to strip more part under the hood, i'll get a deal for multiple parts

ya i'm happy it turned out perfect

 

250 holy fawk i couldnt justify that....but cool your looks good.

 

dam nice valve cover bro.. i wanted to get mine color matched with metallic silver just to be differnt. lol

turned out good though.

 

While that looks great you do know that once you polish the aluminum it looks just as good and is easy to care for also. Here's a pic of my Cavi. from years ago that I polished the valve cover on.




And 2 years after I polished it, it still looks just as good.

 

noice, where did you get the middle rail (orange part) with the ecotec 2.2

any available for cobalt 2.2

 

he probably painted it....i did mine when i had a 2.2

 

Thats the coil pac for the older ECOtec 2.2 engines, like 2006 and back. You got the stupid individual ones don't you? Here's an option you could try, its what I did on my 2.4 ss sedan that had the same dumb setup you now do.

 

Chrome looks awesome!!!! I was gonna do the same thing but ended up having mine polished instead, the polished looks very good but i think the chrome would be a bit brighter of a shine.

 

i dont think he does if you look at his valve cover it has the holes for the cover

 

i will have to look into that, the plugs are really shitty looking

they will stick out above the chrome

 

ah so you have the coil-over plug setup....then i dont know...good luck

 

i am sure i will come up with something to make it stand out
