Galliano Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 well.. when i took mine off (5efe mind you, nothing diff though) it was covered in oil underneath and i changed the little gasgets (one was cracked so swapped with original rocker cover gasget)but by the way, does it really matter if you spray the cam cover without masking up?

JAG Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 no you dont your not taking the whole head off...only the cover for the cams..so its fine...ill put a pic up of what its like underneath tomorrow for you if you want?!RobYeah yeah!

Idrees Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I would replace the cam cover gasket after removing the cam cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 ^lol, but the effort is worth it...does make it look alot better... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 no question bout that, did u cover the letters in vaseline so the paint didnt stick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes it is just a rubber seal mate.Cam cover looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 @ Si, yeah but it didnt work that well...so after i just went a scrapped it off really carefull, then heated the edges so the paint 'flexed' a little and stuck good...so hopefully it wont peel..Cheers idrees...just fitted it back on, this is how it looks:-As im sure you can see, the paint hasnt gone on totally even, but in really like, its given it a quite cool effect...may leave it, or may give it a couple of coats...there are a few rain sports on the photo, not screw ups in the paint by the way And ive just released i forgot to take the photo JAG really sorry man...but basically when you take it off...there is some cam shafts with a bit of oil...nothing fantastic...Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 while you peeps are on the subject of gasgets and covers and stuff...would it be safe to do a straight swap between two rocker covers, both off of a 5efe so its not gonna be different, just im going to put the red and black one on the galli and use the other one to spray for JWK.. just i like both my ideas and have another car i can fit it to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
