Hey Guys,

While Im waiting for my High-Flow to turn up I thought I would finish some engine painting that I started long ago so I removed my Rocker Covers. When I got them off and was having a good look at them before cleaning and paint prep i found on the underside of the cover on the Intake side near the rear of the engine (Firewall) this burnt oils stain type marking. (See photo below)

Should I worry about this stain or is it just something that comes with age??

Also what is the best way to remove the copper coloured blow by hose thingys on top if each cover?(Very technical I know)

Thanks

The rocker cover breather fittings are simply pressed in. Just get a screwdriver in the opening and twist it back and forwards while you pull it up.

:D I tried that when i did mine, thos suckers are in tight! (well you'd hope so :)) I gave up and masked them. lol

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
