hey Ryan, theres a DIY about painting 25 covers here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/354645-diy-spraying-cam-covers/

ClutchBurndout-:( explains a fair bit about removing and refitting.

20 is extremely similar

seeing as you're taking the covers off, might be worth giving them a cleanup or even coat of nice paint / powdercoat / whatever as well

If you going to the trouble of doing the gaskets you might as well paint you covers to, not unless yours are still nice a clean.

Some of the screws on the drivers side are a bit of a pain to get to, if you have a magnetic screw driver you should be fine though.

Biggest issue i had was trying to get the driver side one on without scratching my new paint of, besides that its pretty easy, just take your time and dont drop any screws in the head.

Dont forget to mark your timing on the cam sensor to, i had to re check mine with a timing light as i painted my cam cover.

you dont have to take your cam cover off to do gaskets though.

Edit ..i just read clutchs thread and all it says is undo screws and take covers off except he said it in 100 words what i said in 10.. Plus the bolt under the TB is piss easy if you take the TB off first.

Anywaygo figure it out yourself its not that hard, f**k even cluth figured it out on his own. if i wanted respect points ill go play NFS :)

Good luck

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
