Removing Cam Cover and Camshaft Timing Inspection

Cam Covers (Filters and Wear Strips)

I'm not gonna' pull the cam covers. I'm in deep enough, and hardly knew what I was doing to start with. Really.

But the vent system has me intrigued. Something about all those vapors coming through that little filter membrane. I'm gonna' investigate routing them, joined, up front, to the K & N, to be the 'catch can', if possible...

Opinions hereof???

So if there was any question about the Red coolant manifolds being obnoxiously Red (never could decide about etching color), I answered THAT question with the brush last night.

yeah - there's a couple of glossy pipes in there SOMEwhere:



And I'm here ta' tell ya'; mixing the hardener / paint brew is gettin' old.......................

AND! Be double damn sure you don't have anything like a grain of sand between the DIS module and the plenum; it is a killer, and the module is near unobtainable! In fact, unless there is some reason you must remove it...don't.



Just sayin...

Got it there Mr. W; trust that I work STERILE as possible... If a bolt goin' in the hole hits grit, it comes back out and it and the hole gets re-done...

WHat adhesive is best for re-attaching the C4 emblem to the CC???

Man your doing a great job. Try some of that two part epoxy to glue that emblem back down. Read the labels on the epoxy at the local car parts store. Surely they have something that will bond plastic to lumineee

No 2-part epoxy - you don't want to have to use a grinder or "crow-bar" for removal. Black RTV I would think will do well. Window-weld - maybe?

Ok or that

Anyone know off-hand the size of the crank pulley bolt head? And is it reverse-thread?
