Rb20 Cam Covers On Rb25

[Edmonds]

Is it safe to fit rb20 cam covers onto a rb25 head?

[StevenCJR31]

what do you mean by "safe"?

[Edmonds]

Ok, can rb20 cam covers be fitted to an rb25 head.

[PIG_31]

eccs ones yes

Why would ya? If anything u would 26 covers as the larger breather holes and look a shit load better!

[Edmonds]

I personally like the smooth look, i don't like the rise at the rear of the rb25 and 26 covers, I'm using -10 fittings and line and have opened the breather holes out so that's not a problem.

Rather than start a new thread I found this one. Different from the original question I have a pair of Redtop RB20DET cam covers I want to fit to a S2 RB25DET. Reason being, its in an HR31 and want the stock look back. Unsure if NICS or ECCS. I realise I will need to drill a hole to use the VCT I would just like to know if they will fit over the cams or if there will be interference somewhere.

Thanks.

the nics ones have interference issues

[FordyR31]

Thanks for the reply. Is it to do with the baffle inside? Can it be removed and work ok or is it just the inside of the covers that dont fit over the cams?

[StevenCJR31]

try them out

[FordyR31]

Great advice. Cant wait to start it and hear the knocking and grinding. Seemed like a good question to ask. If there is anything I can do before I fit to stop the interference Ill do it. I want to get the covers repainted but no point if they just wont fit.

I don't recall what the issue is inside the covers.

however I have both so will compare the covers so you can tell which ones you have

[FordyR31]

Great thank u very much. I dont know how to tell the difference and only have one pair. Here are the baffles inside the covers. Had to crop the photo a lot to get it down to size.

Can anyone confirm if these baffles inside the cam covers are the ones that will clear or interfere on a S2 RB25DET. Standard xams and vct all in place
