I recently read a link to a thread on a 'krooze' site.

Someone was complaining about a powder coated rocker cover that had damaged the engine when coating on the inside became detached. Not sure who was deemed the villain, the owner for not cleaning it before fitting or the manufacturer for supplying it in that state.

Either way, beware.

why had they put the coating on the inside toois that so the engine oil could look at the pretty colour also

Well that's just

No idea whether it was just overspray or they'd fully coated it.

It was funny watching the modders slag eoach other off though. One side saying the guy was stupid fitting it in that state, the other saying the supplier was at fault under Sale Of Goods Act.
