Engine side covers

[Rippsnorter]

Hey guys, just wondering what y'all would do about these engine side covers. On the right side the larger crankcase cover is starting to bubble the paint and the smaller one to the right of the crankcase is missing a large chunk of paint and is quite oxidized. Any suggestions on what to do with these?

Repaint them..

+1. If they don't leak, just repaint.

It kinda mind boggling when these simple questions show up. I see bubbling or chipping paint and say "I need to repaint that", it's not really a questionable thing......

If you don't know how to fix this issue, I wouldn't be turning wrenches anymore

That's what you should of asked. " I need to repaint these covers, what paint do you recommend?" The way you posted was ignorant. We would of recommended a high heat paint and good prep.

I replaced mine with NRC covers - but you could also consider stripping and polishing them - if you have the required products and patience. The NRC's are bare, rough cast - I did not bother to paint or polish - just threw them on and ride her like a rented mule.

Agreed, You didnt word the question towards "what are the best paints for aluminum" and "should I take care of an maintenance items with the covers off"

You question was very vauge, and for you to basically blow up about it shows a lot also about who you are...

+1, I have them also. Much thicker than OEM SO, they can take a drop or two.

[QUOTE]You know what? All you self righteous fucking douchebags can go fuck yourselves. Was looking for for constructive input than a bunch of high horse riding cocksuckers jumping in and saying paint it. Of fucking course it needs paint. But I was looking for that tip for cleaning and preventing future oxidation, the best paint you've had experience with on aluminum, what I should check while I have that cover off. But no, just couldn't help but be a bunch of fucking douchebags. Good job guys.[QUOTE]

You asked a vague question you got a vague answer, so you can go "fuck yourself" or ask the right question
