I wouldn't do it unless you plan to do the entire engine. Polished valve covers will stand out like a turd in a punch bowl. I just cleaned mine with some cleaner and used a wire brush.

There's a bracket that runs just beneath the AC compressor. It has two bolts that hold it to the timing cover and a long screw on the side that applies can be adjusted to stretch the belt. To loosen/tighten the AC belt, lossen the two bolts slightly and turn the side screw. It'll make more sense when you look at it. > I have a new set of gaskets for the valve covers > but would prefer a higher quality volvo felpro gasket > is possible, does anyone know a good place to order > this? The Felpro gaskets are the same, that thin paper-like material. > Is there a torque / retorque specification for > these valve covers? Valve cover torque is 11 lbs or 15 Nm. > the belts and valve cover removals will be turned into > new howto's > It's very simple. The only thing you have to take off and set to the side is the AC compressor. Email me if you have any questions. > thanx > > jordan 11613 > > http://retroserver.no-ip.com > Yahoo!
