im in the middle of pulling my plenum and rocker covers off to get powder coated and im kinda stuck.

i have removed all bolts thats on the top side of the plenum, have removed the bolts from the TB also and it would budge. then i found out there is a bolt under neath the plenum. but i can only feel one and its still not budging. are there more bolts holding the plenum down???

please help :3some:

you've got to get at it with a 1/4" socket, what i did was use around 40cm of 3/8 extension so i could use my 3/8 ratchet incase they were tight - going at it with a 1/4" ratchet and you'll smash the gears.

i put a 3/8" to 1/4" adapter on the end of the 3/8" extension and used the rest as 1/4" extensions so it could get into the tight spots. luckily the end of my long 1/4" extension allows the socket to swivel a bit.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
