Nice install. Your engine bay looks great! :smile:
How much for your core charge? How long is the turn around time for this if I sent mine in? The reason I ask is after NSXPO I am getting Timing belt/Water Pump, Valve adjustments, and hoses done. figure that would be the best time to have it done, or swap them out.
Mine are in and I've got to say they look brilliant. Thanks Garrick!

Im also looking to coat all three covers as well. Is this service still available?
Service is still available! PM me and we can work out the details. I'm in the middle of a batch of covers and I should have up to 3 fresh sets available. One may already be spoken for...
Ed, your photos are aweseome! That's a really good representation of the true color and texture! Your engine bay looks very sharp!

Pms replied to. Email notifications stopped for me for some reason and i have to login to know i have new messages. Sorry for the delay!
Do you have these on exchange? Meaning you would send out your valve covers finished with a core charge and then refund the core upon receipt of originals? Is it possible to install the valve covers without removing the engine, and if so, does removing the intake manifold and fuel rail/injectors help?
Yes. I stock 3 full sets of NSX valve covers and I can ship them out with a core charge first which would be fully refunded when I get your covers back in good and clean (oil free) condition.
Valve cover install does NOT need engine removal... see pics in thread where I local customer tool pics of me performing the install/removal. You don't need to remove the fuel rail or injectors but you will need to remove the OEM rear strut bar and the fuel injector covers (plastic pieces). Most of the wire harness brackets bolted to the corners of the heads should be removed to make things easier.
If you've never done it before, plan for at least 3 hours. PM me and I can give you lots of tips for removal. I've done lots of these and it still takes me over 2 hours to do the full swap.
Sent you a PM a few days ago regarding invoicing me... Didn't hear back
Sorry Nero! Ran out of covers! Running another batch now! I'll PM you once they are ready.
OK thanks, LMK asap!

Hey Ed, where can I buy this polished cap?
You can't - it was from RM Racing, which is no longer with us. The one from Spoon is pretty similar as seen here but you'll need to peel off their sticker and polish it to get the same look as mine.
Good luck!
Thanks Ed that is an expensive cap! I appreciate the link, I found some replica aluminum ones out there.

PM Sent, awaiting reply so I can send mine out!
PM sent! I'm waiting for Nero and redat9's covers to arrive before I can kick off another batch. Berlinaguy85, if you can send your covers over, I can probably kick off a batch without Nero's covers returned... though I'd prefer to have ALL my covers back when I kick off a batch... Nero... Hint, hint...
