Message	Anyone have an experience where they had valve covers powder coated and the plastic sprayers or rubber nipples melted off? Do the plastic ones melt closed or just evaporate? I've found out that they're not that important if they break off, but I wouldn't want them clogging. Part deux: does anyone know the size of the following bolts which I'd like to replace with stainless steel ones: Throttle body to plenum Coil pack bracket to packs Timing cover shoulder bolts. That's all I can really think of. Thanks, T "...Downpipes own. They own everything...anything...all there ever was and will be...they should be stock on all cars.
