All better and as good as new ...







Caught most of the swarf, but I'll be flushing the whole thing out again anyway...

well done. Looks like nothing has happened there

Sexy...

Wow that is some epic amazing OCD. Love it.

As part of the head refurb I've also refurbed the VTEC Solenoid.

Looked like this originally. There were signs a previous owner had attempted to paint it...





I took it apart and gave the main bodies a good soak and scrub in Gunk and then got the Dremel on the solenoid for a few minutes...





Rinsed them off and after they were dry masked them up...





Then gave them a few coats of VHT paint...





I then reassembled the whole lot, masked the capheads and plug and gave the whole thing a few more coats...





I then put it's new hat on before stowing it away for the winter ...

I never seen such a well treated Solenoid did you give it some ice cream as well before bed?

[NafemanNathan]

Nah, just some lovin'.

So look at this one

Bought ≠ well treated.


Is that textured paint Nafe? Always thought wrinkle effect would look good on a few small bay parts.

I just couldn't justify spending the money they cost on something that doesn't actually do anything different to OEM.

It's just Halford's own Black VHT which is matt.
