the blue wasn't my call, i bought the intake on ebay and it was the only color it came on so i am currently looking for red ruber sleves and stuff

Did you have to buy another gasket after you painted the cover?

you don't really have to torque it on, the bolts holding it on are not really that tight so when i tightned it back on i didn't tighten them a whole bunch but i made sure they weren't coming back off
