Sweet! Was the valve cover painted with regular paint or heat resistant paint?

i always had the valve cover painted with regular paint and it has held up really good over the period of time. Just a few coats extra of hardener

I've had the plastic cover over the actual valve cover painted with standard automotive paint. Didnt think that the paint would hold up on the actual valve cover. Would give it a shot now.

How come I had missed this thread. I just spent almost 100 minutes on this thread reading and focusing closely on all the pictures. Really happy to see such a brain and epic determination and specially the can-do attitude of yours. Whats the update now?

You will be using this fuel as it is or in some ratio with local hi octane?

After alot of pain and efforts,here is baby k in full form.
To be able to take this picture means alot to me. About 5-6 years back i used to see these kinds of projects on k20a.org and always used to think that maybe one day i would also be able to do a similar project
