Cam cover

[Alexw]

Morning All!

Ive got the intake manifold off atm and thought i may as well get the cam cover painted while I'm at it as i can't stand that kinda beige colour it is right now. I'm going to order the parts from Porsche tomorrow but im not sure if ive got them all! :
928-104-443-08 x4 (Spark plug o-ring)
928-104-447-09 x1 (gasket)
900-174-056-40 x2???? (o-ring)
N - 012-420-1 x2??? (circlip)

I had a look at the parts thingy but can't figure out how many of the last 2 i need or if i've got everything???

Also, what colour do you guys think i should have the cam cover painted???

I went with Black powdercoat, which I definately think looks nicer than beige...
I've always meant to pick out the lettering in white but haven't got around to it yet.

The 944S has a silver painted one which I think I prefer, here's a pic of it just after I bought it

Nice, i was toying with the idea of having it polished up and have the lettering coloured, maybe red or white as the car is white. Not sure if its possible/advisable though, i recall someone mentioning painting it silver was a better option. I like the silver one there, blends in nicely

I previously owned a 944 S2 and had the cam cover mirror polished and the
[FONT=ms reference sans serif"][FONT=ms reference sans serif"][FONT=ms reference sans serif"]Porsche[FONT=ms reference sans serif"][FONT=ms reference sans serif"][FONT=ms reference sans serif"] lettering done in red , I did have some pic's of when I first had it done looked great , I would recommend you have some heat resistant lacquer applied so it does not fade , or you can keep polishing it with some Auto Sol metal polish every month or so .
