The Budget Honda Civic build gets some JDM bling for the engine bay! We take a $15 Junkyard valve cover and transform it into something worth looking at with the help of Finesse Works!
During my bimonthly trip to the local junkyard, I stumbled across a (mostly) unpicked EG Civic Coupe with the D16Z6 still intact! What a find! It happened to have a spray painted valve cover that had seen better days. I figured with some TLC and powdercoating this thing would look awesome on my Civic! I took it straight to Brandon at Finesse Works in Boise for a complete strip and respray of the drool worthy JDM Red.
I wanted this transformation to be clean, and I didn't want to crudely DIY with a rattle can. Brandon cleaned up all of the old paint, stripped it, powder coated it, and brushed the VTEC lettering for me. I think this facelift will hold me over on the D16y8 for now until I can plan a proper swap (or maybe turbo) in the future? We'll see!
In this video I also install a new valve cover gasket kit on the civic as well as the spark plug seals. I'm still puzzled by the proper way to put in the spark seals, but I haven't found a leak yet. Overall, I think this is my favorite aesthetic engine mod I've done and I totally recommend swapping to a z6 cover if you have an Ek/Ej civic. Vtec Yo!
