has anyone polished their rocker covers on their rb25det?

if so is it easy to take the rover covers off.

im not talking about the plastic bit in the middle, i mean the part where u pour oil into.

and another question is can the gaurd that is infront of the cam gears be removed and driven around, i was hoping it had a nice whering sound being gilmer belts.

there is a thread in here somewhere if you do a search under polishing im sure that you will find what you are after.......if not look under rocker cover polishing.Rocker cover removal something allong those lines.or try head gasket replacement....yes thats how mine is at the moment but you also run the risk of somyhing falling down the gapeing hole thats left.

I dont think u can get aftermarket cam covers for the RB25DET

They arent hard to take off motoX,

I took them off for the first time, polished them and put them back with no problems.

So anyone can do it really, just make sure you leave the bonnet down whilst the covers are off and that nothing falls into the cams. Also make sure you look after the rubber runner seal around the bottom of each cover. Clean it when you take it off, you dont need to line it with oil when you put it back either.

Oh and when you put it all back together, dont rev the engine at all for about 10min. Let it idle and get oil back up there.

Cheers,

PS- Check my gallery moto, there is some pics of the covers off, before and after shots etc

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
