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.

      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

      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!
