whats the purpose of those wires coming off youer spark plug wires?

[SQ Civic]

There ground wires (I guess)

[SOHCinWA]

clean looking... :TU:

[Agent T]

ya, they're ground wires, stupid nology wires lol...im gonna get some NGKS once i get my wheel needs taken care of..thing that sucks is the one header bolt you see still on there, is stripped, and i cant get it off lol, looks like the connector from that ground wire melted to it or something, dunno

[EJ6Civic27]

Looks pretty good. :TU:

[Agent T]

thanks, i suck at sanding though lol, which is why you see some scuff lines and that one big patch of paint gone near the H is because i let the tape stick to the paint, and then when i pulled it off...ya

for reference, i rigged up a crappy sort of border around the letters to try and avoid hitting the paint when i was sanding, but it didnt work too well, so i took it off lol

[EJ6Civic27]

Thats why you let the paint dry/set for a day or two. That way, when you go to tape it off, the paint dosent pull off w/the tape. Make sure your using masking/painters tape. Thats what I used.

[Agent T]

it was already painted and dried, i got it used off of K20Civic after his brother blue the Z6 is came from, same motor i got my tranny housing off of

[EJ6Civic27]

Ohhhh....cheap paint job then? :shrug:

[Agent T]

maybe, Matt said he used the heat resistant kind of paint, so i dunno

[red96civicex]

when i did mine, i used black wrinkle paint so it looks clllean..but nice upgrade!

[Agent T]

i just learned a bad thing today..one of the valve cover bolts has snapped on the threaded end....grand...drove to work and back again today, nothing went wrong, so i dunno, probably gonna run down to Honda tomorrow and try to get a new bolt, just hope its not a bitch to get the broken piece out of the thread hole

[watisjdm]

[93reddelsol]

I'm going to be honest and blunt, it blows there is chipping...

[Agent T]

lol, any and all comments welcome, good or bad

[Agent T]

nice find me a z6 valve cover

pretty sure you can find them anywhere

[EJ6Civic27]

I have 2 broken VC bolts, and have no leaking or any other problems at all. :shrug:

[crxdude]

i got the high temp rattel can stuff and it works fine......next time im using truck bed liner

[H2Bcivic]

yea i used the high temp stuff. it was on there for a long time and had no trouble with it coming off. might have gotten roughed up a bit during shipping. i mean it was in with a tranny and all kinds of shit so who knos what ups did! the guy i dropped it off to couldnt even pick it up! i had to load it on the truck! lmao

[H2Bcivic]

nice find me a z6 valve cover

ive came across a couple! ill check around for u!:alky:

[areskzc]

anyone wants a special design on his VC?
I may get fancy with my paintbrush

[Hellhatch]

Nice upgrade looks better. I used a drill out to get the vc bolt out i snapped in my head worked great.

[H2Bcivic]

be careful u dont get any shavings anywhere!

[Agent T]

you guys shoulda seen the look i had on my face for a split second right as i heard the bolt snap, haha, im betting it was funny, then i was like eh fuck it, shouldnt go anywhere
