the DOHC is short and says "Nissan Twin Cam 16 Valve" on 1 side and has spark plug holes down the middle.

the SOHC is very tall and says "2400 12 Valve" down the middle in a block with a bunch of lines running down the middle. Says Nissan near the rear exhaust side of the cover. Has no spark plug holes.

If you dont mind a little down time I can do your cover. Unfortunately I dont have any cores so you'd have to send me yours.

My price is $65 shipped. I can usually get it done within a day or 2 of receiving the cover.

Too big, however if you dont mind waiting a month or two I may be able to do it. Im going to be adding a oven extension so I can fit bigger things.

thats ok, i just talked to my dad and he has some acrylic enamel type stuff that he used to paint my grandpa's pickup truck frame so i'll just be using that since it's really durable stuff. i will keep you in mind for the future though, and thank you for the speedy response.

alright i have a new question for you. can you do any hi temp powder coating? i'm not sure how hi temp your normal powder coat job is, but i'm looking to make a turbo manifold coated and need it to stand up to the heat. i'd need the manifold coated inside and out and its a log style manifold. if you can do something like that i'd like it in this color

What you're looking for is Cermaic Coating. Unfortunately I dont offer that yet, and its very expensive. But it is something im researching so I can offer it to people.

Your work looks good. Are you using the Columbia coatings? Do you like them? I do a few parts here and there nothing too fancy just for fun mostly.

i would be more interested in the candy gold plated as im looking for something like a chrome gold or like a gold ring would look like you know?

btw my valve covers and timing covers have been powder coated once already and i started stripping the timing cover and its pretty nasty will this effect the price?

Alright, I just got my hands on another S14 DOHC Cover and I want to try something out with it. Do you have the color thats photographed? Also, can you make an outline of a decal on the side of the cover that doesnt have letters? How much would you charge if I can drop it off and pick it up?... youre only about an hour and a half away from me.

Sorry but I don't understand what exactly you wrote.

The pic is very blurry. Is it a textured black like a wrinkle black? Or you looking for something slightly flat and slightly glossy.

And what do you mean by outline of a decal on the side? Are you saying you want a decal put on and spraying so that it leaves a outline?
