To say nothing about the noise it would have made in the tumble dryer! :mrgreen:

Gotta admit, that red wrinkle finish on the cam cover is very nice. Very Honda Type-R'ish.

An alternative to the painted finish is the polish finish. Here are before and after photos of my cam cover.

I think a nice alloy or chrome oil cap would look nice on that.

I do have a spare polished NB8A intake and heat shield somewhere ... :mrgreen:

Yeah AB7, after seeing Okibi's example, it's making me want to polish the manifold and the SVT unit on top of the cam cover.

I just got to put aside a whole weekend to do it.

You guys are classics

My wife would kill me if I even thought of using the dishwasher or the oven.

putting it into the dishwasher is a case of using the wrong process. Also using an oven has also to be thought thru as some fumes will not be good for ones health esp since a domestic oven is processing food for consumption.

Oh dear, I don't think you'll be impressed when I tell you I use my Bamix to mix quantities of up to 1.5L of 2 pack......
I do wash it before I use it for food prep though...thinners is good for something
