    Cleaning rocker cover

    Just wondering what does one use to make their rocket cover look nice and blinged up. I want the red to shine out

      Dunno about rocket covers, but I'd use a degreaser spray and a toothbrush to clean a ROCKER cover.

              Technically it's not meant to be called rocker cover.

              It's meant to be valve cover.

              In older engines the rockers used to be at the top of the head and the cams used to be lower, hence the name Rocker cover

              Cams are now at the top with the valves in newer engines.

              But most people keep calling it rocker cover.

              "Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
              Horse power is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."

                  since the valve rocker arms are higher in the B series head than the valves, your story makes no sense...

                  to be pedantic, it is a "cylinder head cover"
