    Lets see your valvecovers!

    Curious to see the various M20 valvecover options... I've always had just a boring, bare valvecover. I think its time to jazz up the engine bay a little.

    I know the crinkle-black with the polished vanes is the go-to but wondering what other options are out there.

    Photos from 2016. Didn't finish any higher then 100 grit on purpose to give it some patina.
    I actually kept this valve cover as a wall hanger when I gave away my M20B25. (I threw on a spare M20B27 valve cover for him).

      I don't have an M20, but the wrinkle red looks fantastic!

          I did straight gold on the last engine i put together. I'm doing something in silver for this next one.

            I like boring valve covers. This is brand new one, got it when was still available. Still can't get it to seal so everything is bone dry. Getting a little oil sweat on the gasket joint, not leaking so I guess it as good as it gets
