Epoxy/Adhesive for V6 3000 Logo?

What type of epoxy or adhesive should I use to secure the "V6 3000" logo/sticker thingy that goes on the VE's valve cover?

3M tape. They sell it at auto body supply stores. It is used for trim and sticks like crazy.

Is that the double sided white foamy tape?

Try to find a spray adhesive that is designed for high temps.

I just used some two part 60-second epoxy and it worked great. Hopefully it stays on there.

There is a couple kinds. I don't like the foam stuff. There is also a black that is stronger. Check with your supply shop. They will proly have a few kinds

superglue.

you could also use contact cement. works pretty well on stuff like that. they sell it in pretty small cans w/ a brush applicator. brush a thin layer on both the valve cover/manifold and the logo strip, then wait 5-10 min for it to get sticky.. then press & hold them together for a minute or two, then voila! never coming off!

use the 60 second epoxy.

the double sided tape makes the piece stick up too much.

I thought about using superglue or contact cement, but I decided to use epoxy and it worked great!

I'm not familiar with that stuff, but if it works, then it's the right stuff for the job!
