You'd be crazy to not have them replace the seals when the gears are off.

Removing the cover is easy, then you have to reset the timing cos you have to take the cas off.

Oh man. Can't believe I didn't actually rad the thread correctly.

A clear cam cover is something very special indeed. Especially one that could stay clean!

These questions aren't "forced induction" questions..

Use the correct section ie general maintenance

Great thanks for your input.. not

And its obviously a waste of money.

You drive a stagea lol

I'm loving the idea of clear cam covers. That wording, plus the question of whether it will stay clean on the inside was worth a laugh.

Timing cover, now that's whole 'nother biscuit.

Wow another one with a constructive comment thanks you obviously know everything high five..

Seems to be a lot of wank factor on this forum. Lol

Thanks for that I'll make sure they replace the seals..

Yes it should stay clean if inside your timing cover is clean and your cam seals don't leak. It would only be 3/4 bolts to take it off.

Thanks again I appreciate the civil and constructive reply

Are you better than me cos of the car you drive?

If you think that's the case I'm truly sorry for you that your life is so basic and materialistic.

Really. Its sad.

The way you react to replies on here is hilarious, so don't go changing.

Someone might spoon feed you with exactly what you want to hear sooner or later.

Yea Good one

If your gonna comstantly ask stupid questions might as well do it in the right

Section

Lol sorry genius I didn't mean to offend you by my question. . It's obviously well below your intelligence levels.. If you like dishing insults how about a nice simple reply for you superior brain.. 'gonna' isn't a word ..

Ow I'm sorry you can dish it but can't take it .. no prob.. I'm sorry and yes a simple constructive answer to the question is preferred. . If you want to play games and consider yourself funny join a comedy club or a funny forum .. ??

Man.

You come on here asking people to help then act like this?

Just throw money at your chosen shop and get some shit result. But a clear cover for wank factor.

Good luck with it. Then you sell the car for a huge loss.

How would the inside of a cover get dirty? Well one way would be a leaking camshaft seal, which only a lunatic wouldn't replace when they have the gears off a unknown km engine. Or the crank seal. Or the water pump.

Not offended, just surprised by your complete lack of common sense,

mechanical knowledge and inability to use the search function.

Probably your parents fault more then anything.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
