once you have all the main piping off and a few hoses.. about 5 mins to just undo all the retaining bolts..

anyway, ne i thought you took you plastic bit off to paint it? once you've done that to take the actual rocker covers off is rather easy... its just the sanding that is the hard part. Smoother result if you do the lot with hand sanding.. if you use some sort of mechanical sander + fine sandpaper its a lot quicker but you can get swirls in the metal which are hard to sand out via hand.

Me and nathan both did ours at the same time.. mine was really just to polish it up a bit more. Nathan's came up pretty well starting from standard. I'd post photos but i don't have a digi cam.

  • 3 weeks later...

Its probably not the greatest idea.. but i did it anyway :)

If the gasket crumbles when u take it off then yes, if not i would just put it back. Mine seems to be functioning fine after giving it some stick. It was a couple of weeks back now..

Does anyone want to put up a detailed report of how to achieve this result ?

I'm certainly willing to give it a go however no idea how to get the rocker covers or plenum off ...

If anyone is able to put a step by step up of taking off the inlet piping, rocker covers, plenum ... that'd be greatly appreciated :)

Undo all the clips and bolts... Take the rocker cover off to get the the screws on the inside of the cam covers....

Dont loose any bolts etc while its apart! and take your time dont force anything...

I'd do it if I had a digi-cam but i don't so i can't help u all :D Wish i could, i'm good at tutorials and i've done it a few times.. Its useful to know to pull it apart change spark plugs, check coils and things too..

me and dj_lethal are gonna do our plenums fairly soon...

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
