I just did my valve covers and i put everything in perectly, but now when i go reverse it has some weird grining sound and whenever i start my car it comes up with a huge jolt and one time it jolted then just shutoff. what did i do wrong and how can i fix that?

nevermind i fixed it. the problem was the arospeed strut bar. BTW dont buy arospeeds products because they dont fit and they never emailed me back or anything. such a bad company. Well yea the strut bar was banging up against the air manifold and almost broke it. As far as the painted valve covers, it was a success. Thanks for the guidelines.

hey ima...hows the 400deg paint? everything still looking good??? i have 500 deg paint but someone told me i should use the 1200 deg paint instead.

the 400 degree is good enough, just appy a few layers with about a few minutes inbetween coats and make sure you get the whole thing, dont miss a spot like me. After you ride ur car around for a few miles it'll get hot and bake in, but just dont touch it until the next day when it cools.
