6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

[Gary E]

The significance of the blue is that it is the traditional Ford Racing Blue. Baby blue it is NOT. Painting them any color other than Ford Racing Blue is blasphemy.

Open mouth, insert foot. I looked a little harder after posting and saw the "Ford Racing Blue" mentioned. Blasphemy huh? Uh oh; I'll keep it on the downlow if I go any other color then...

Finally got my metal 6.2 valve covers from backorder and got the VHT wrinkle blue paint on. Pretty happy with the results but there are areas that didn't wrinkle up even after applying additional coats. As long as they don't start peeling I will be happy with these. Now to find some stud mount ty-wraps.

Where did you order the valve covers from?

 

[EmbDriver]

yes.....indeed...where, dumb question has anyone tried rattle bombing the plastic covers?

 

[BrandonSVT]

I ordered them from Autonation Ford White Bear Lake. BC3Z-6582-G was back ordered for about a month but I think the pair was about 230 with shipping and everything. A little more more than buying some on eBay but these are brand new with new gaskets and bolts. I had a hard time finding decent ones on ebay that were cheap enough to justify not buying new ones.

As for cable ties I thought about trying these for the wire ties

What I did to hold the wires.

Looks good to me. Did you make those little brackets?

 

[Gary E]

Yes. Flat aluminum plate. Drilled holes. Nut under and over on cover stud, and a small zip tie.
