I've had my rocker cover power coated black (same colour as my corsa) and i'm just wanting to know if anyone has had engine problems once it has been fitted and the engine is running (i.e. the oil light coming on)
Ive heard a few rumours, not good one's and i'm just after ppl's opinions..

Only had it running for a couple of seconds wiv no exhaust on so I know it won't have done anything yet.. Thinkin of taking it back off and cleanin the inside wiv a wire wheel..

I had it done at a powdercoaters in bradford and asked them to do it without gettin any on the inside, but they managed to get the over spray in there and on the baffle plate.. As to whether its been shot blasted, I dont know..

Looks like i'm goin to have to spend abit of time wiv the wire wheel gettin it off..

I cant have this engine knacking up alot of time and money has been spent on it.. Cheers ppl..
