But its half assed cut for cam gears, i wana finish the cut so it looks cleaner, anyone know how to cut it really nice? the half moon is kinda out the window....

i would guess a table grinder or a dremel. be sure to mark off what you want to cut.

overall, looks clean doods :thumbs up

I dont mean to thread jack bro, I just want to put this out there ->

Please tell me how this is different from a USDM VTEC valve cover.
usdm gsr ->

jdm gsr ->


The usdm gsr doesn't have the H badge, the DOHC is bigger than the VTEC. Bottom - 'honda motoring co"

jdm gsr - comes with H badge, DOHC is smaller than the VTEC. Bottom - only states honda

I don't think theres a difference between gsr/type r besides the paint.

BTW op, the red wrinkle paint makes the bay come out a lot more :thumbs up.

Jayson, I thought the B18C1 was the top one, and the B16 was the lower.

Coy, get me a pic of a B16A valve cover. Im pretty sure they are the same as a "JDM" B18C.

The top is a B18C1, the bottom is a B18C. I spent a lot of time looking at both cars next to each other and started noticing the differences. I was like wooahhh :shock:.
