Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines how hot do valve covers get?

Flat only looks good until you start the engine.
There's always a film of gas, oil, antifreeze, brake fluid present in the air, and it looks bad and hard to clean.
Something on my "to-do" list that I haven't tried is a cheap trick to make sheet metal resemble aluminum. Prep and spray with silver paint as usual, but wipe almost all of it off with a rag.
