Title: Valve Cover Bolts
Post by: Mark69Sportsroof on May 18, 2018, 10:53:39 PM

Hi Everyone,

I'm repainting my 351C engine in the Mach 1 and need to know if the valve cove bolts are painted engine blue or cadmium plated?  I have seen both but definitely more painted blue. 

Thanks Mark

Using the search feature I found the pictures in the following earlier posts ;)

Thought I had posted a thread with pictures of this example also but can't locate that thread at the moment

Thanks Jeff.  It is blue as I expected.  I have been using the search option more lately but spaced it this time.  Mark

Would agree. Painted blue with engine assembled so it will also cover any gasket for valve cover as well.

My 72 H code.  I have 73 examples and a 71 if needed.
