SAU Members,

I have a polished set of rocker covers, new gasket set, bolt torque instructions from the manual and an installation diagram.

Do I need to know anything specific about the installation of the gasket, so that I don't screw it up first time?

Do the metal surfaces need to be prepared, cleaned, etc?

Does anything need to be applied to the metal surfaces or gasket?

Many thanks for help in advance.

Regards

Jimbo

When i re-install my gaskets on my rocker covers i put a thin layer of clean, new oil on the side that contacts the rocker cover, then press the gasket into place.

Then apply a thin layer to the side of the gasket that contacts the head. Seems to work.

I have taken my covers off 3-4 times now and haven't replaced the gasket yet, and have not had the slightest of leaks.

And i also clean off any old oil/grit from the head before hand too. Pretty much just like putting on an oil filter :D

gotRICE,

Many thanks.

I'll post a few pics of the installation from start to finish, including the rocker cover polishing process.

RusH,

So far it looks like if I do all the work myself, it will be $100 for the polishing, and $44 for the gaskets only. That's the minmium cost. Similarly, Just Jap in Sydney charge you around that price for polished units on exchange only.

TM Autosports also say that they can remove then refit for the R34 for $160 if we don't do DIY.

Hope they turn out. Keep you posted.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
