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.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
