I'm in the middle of rebuilding my 22re (89 4x4). I decided to also remove the baffle from the underside of the valve cover to clean it out and also thought about powder coating the cover, which the baffle would have to be removed for anyway.

The baffle is factory installed with pressed in rivets... has anyone removed one before? Do you just drill out the rivets then tap the holes and bolt the baffle back on afterward? I'm interested in hearing about anyone's experiences with this.

Thanks!
