http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1.../3182001_8.jpg can someone tell me what the silver piece in the midle of the black plastic cover is and is there a gasket in there im trying to powder coated at work but i dont know if theres a gasket that ill need to replace if i take it out thank u

 

It covers the top of the IM. Once removed it allows access to the bolts to take the upper IM off and clean the EGR ports. There is a metal gasket under there. You can reuse it if it doesnt get bent.

 

ok i need opinions on what color to do the cover my car is green what color should i powder coat the cover thank u

 

it's your car - do what you want with it.....

 

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/kiko21/cover.jpg i just powder coated my top cover black what do u guys think

 

looks good, how much did that cost you? i just painted mine red and clear coated it, no problems with the paint.

 

i think you should paint everything else gloss black to match it better. i think it looks kind of off right now but if it was all the same shade of black it would look good

 

it didnt cost me anything im a powder coater and yes im painting everything else gloss black to macth and soon im powder coating the calipers also

 

ok, well how much would it cost?

 

30 to 50 bucks depending on the color and hoe dirty it is

 

i dont know much about powder coating but can u do it at home or does a shop have to do it? also is it better than spay painting?

 

u can do it at home if u have the materials which are expensive and yes its way better than spray paint it wont rust or fade it can last along time if u take care of it for instance i did the hitch on my truck 5 years ago and it still looks new heres our website http://www.powdertech.biz/ and heres my bike all coated http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...l_NYgixxer.jpg

 

so u can powder coat any material?

 

any type of metal

 

will it resist scratches and chip better i but tools or stuff on top of it?

 

yes it does

 

I think Im gonna poilsh mine

 

^^
What he said thats what I wanna do to.

 

Are there any torque specs to put it back on or can you just romove it. and put it back on.

 

instead of polishing get it chrome polishing u will always have to be cleaning it

 

or have it cleared afterwards. It will help it last longer. but chrome is a better option. black chrome

 

Is there a torque for the cover? I would like to continue the engine paint job.

 

I dont have the manual near me but it isnt much like 8 to 10ft/lb
