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..

+25hp for the wank factor?

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
