paul mac Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 wheels look great Wez, i would leave them as long as you can to let the paint harden before fitting the tyres, even with UV hardened paint it wont do any harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Replacement Cam Covers and Breather Setup As I had some free time yesterday I swapped over the cam covers, not a bad job really. I replaced all the nuts and bolts at the same time but you could prob get away with just washers. Thanks to Tonys Valve Stem Replacement guide I ordered the following :- Cam cover washer 90210-07001 x 16 Cam cover bolts 90105-06166 x 12 Cam cover nut 90179-06288 x 4 Cam cover gasket (Inlet) 11213-46020 x 1 Cam cover gasket (Exhaust) 11214-46011 x 1 I also replaced the small breather hoses :- Cam breather hose 12263-46010 x 1 Cam breather hose 12264-46010 x 1 Once the new cam covers were on I moved onto the worst bit, assembling the -12 breather line, from now on I will order the lines pre-made and avoid the frustration.

I am going to swap that over when I have all the other bits needed to delete a load of unwanted water ways, should really clear the bay up.

Homer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Very nice Wez It's about time some attention to detail went into it No offence meant, you know where I'm coming from The cam breathers normally have clamps on them, are they missing for a reason?

Wez Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 As I had the coil pack loom out I also trimmed the two unused VSV plugs off and heat shrinked the ends. These were then slid into a single piece of heat shrink to keep them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Wez, the chaps are correct, those inner ones don't have clips. I ate a cornetto earlier, must not be used to the sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Bit more work on the dash Managed to get a bit more work done on the dash. I now have a cig lighter socket so I can still use sat nav etc and also added a second eight way calibration switch for the Solaris traction control, just need to get a little knob to match the other switch. I also completed the basic wiring to supply the switches with grounds and positives, I then connected up a battery so I could test each switch was working as it should.
