I have tried fitting my fitting Karl and they seem a bit slack in the cam covers. Wonderign if I should put some paint on the covers before trying to fit to give it that extra little tight fit that it may be needing? your thoughts?

Hi,

Sorry for yours to be a little slack. I make my parts based on the rocker covers that i have at work and this is the first instance i have heard that the fitting was a little loose as others seemed to be ok.

I do not mind replacing them if you like, as i like to keep everyone happy.

On the other hand you can just put some locktight on them or even a dab of silicon to make them tight or if you get the covers painted that will work too. Its not nesessary to make them tight (individual choice i guess). The main thing is that they do not leak, and as its not under extreme pressures it is unlikely to leak.

Please let me know and i will try to help you out.

Hope this helps.

Karl

Hey no worries, I will give it some paint and probably use the loctite on it in any event. Work is top notch and me being in Trinidad for a replacement I think is too much of a hassle to give you anyway.

Cheers.

If anyone has the factory drivers side elbow let me know i will buy it off you.

Sorry can't help.

Can't wait for summer to come and finally get the car down calder when it opens up again.

Thanks for your support. I have some seconds of parts that i am keen on getting rid off (rocker cover fittings RB25) Make offers. The only thing wrong with them is that they are little rough on the treaded section (nothing serious just a few chadder marks on them) and when fitted you will not know as the visual section is normal. They WILL tighten as per normal. I think i have only to suit rb25 though and there is about 4 sets. All offers considered, but you pay for postage if needed. These are the parts that karl rejects although functionaly perfect.

Thanks

Karl

Hi. I don't see why they will not work on the earl or goodridge style. The dash style (speedflow) are imperial sizing (u.s) so they should work. I think that its a standard they all work to for fitment

If you need 2 pairs i will throw in regular air mail to canada.

Let me know,.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
