Installed my Mancini Valve Cover

Post by jmr » Wed Mar 21, 2007 2:15 pm

Finished installing my Mancini Racing valve cover today. For added effect I decided to color the engine lettering. The VC did not come with a oil cap or gaskets like some of the others, for $39 it's hard to pass up. BTW Autozone had the gasket kit in stock for $22. The next project is to get the injector cover. Anybody need a plastic OEM valve cover?

it does look pretty good, and an injector cover will really clean it up well.

Looks real nice. I've been debating this purchase for about 1 year now. I still can't really justify spending $60+ on a purely cosmetic, underhood item. I want one, but I want other things more. Money is always tight.

How did you do the lettering? By hand?

Solar Yellow and Flame Red were the only colors of touch up paint I had. Also had Atlantic Blue but that wasn't gonna fly.

I got the injector cover from my brother who works a for a Jeep dealer here in St. Louis, it definitely helps clean it up.
I have no idea why a Magnum cover or a 1.6L cover is so cheap compared to a 2.0L cover.

Here are the part numbers:
1.6L 16 Valve injector cover: 4891522AB $11.77
2.0L High Output injector cover: 4891410AB $14.43
2.0L 16 Valve injector cover: 4891356AB $37.89
Fuel Rail Bolts each (2 needed) 6505873AA $4.23

You can also try these guys out.
