fla 9 Posted April 5, 2006 I think there's one on the Canadian C forum, by Dennis, He certainly appears to known his stuff. Dont know how to post links on a webpage but you can find it in their technical forum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fla 9 Posted April 5, 2006 gradeAfailure, yep, those are the ones. Good lad. Its a useful set of pointers too in Dennis' article, and his engine bay does look smart imho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Stick it up then Philip! There you go David :D (it only labels the sensors though - still useful I guess) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted April 6, 2006 whats this bit??? Its not coloured on mine and it hate it, looks outta place Its just part of the cam cover, it differs between early and late VRs. On one type its part of the cam cover itself and the other type it is separate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveVR6 0 Posted April 6, 2006 how easy is it to remove? should it be removed? (obviously not permanently, just for laquering/painting) Mines a late VR BTW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 6, 2006 DaveVR6, Yeah - that is a very late VR and has the plastic cam cover, yours is metal... You could 'upgrade' to one of these as they are lighter and soak up engine noise but you'll also need a new gasket and remove the studs from the top of the head as the plastic ones have captive bolts to hold them on rather than bolts. You have to do a bit of work to get to it as the manifold has to come off altho this is fairly easy, remove HT leads out of way, unplug ISV etc then undo 7 allen head bolts at the front, a couple of pipes, water pipes on the TB and various vac pipes, then just unbolt the cover and lift out the way holding the fuel pipes clear... Also a good time to check condition of chains / tensioners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveVR6 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Cheers, very useful info! How would I 'check' the condition of chains etc, is it just a visual thing or is there a more scientific way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
