off topic, but are these easy enough to fit?

 

6 bolts & 2 nuts on each side is all that holds them on once you've got the coil packs out of the way ;) If you haven't had your covers off before you'll definitely want new seals and washers to replace your old ones as they'll have baked into plastic by now. Some FIPG would be needed on the front corners too when fitting back on to make sure there are no oil leaks after.

I've got new seals, but washers? FIPG = Form In Place Gasket? I take it its just in a tube like silicon?

 

Sorry this is off topic but may help a potential buyer :)

 

Yeah FIPG, I used Hylomar Blue as Chris Wilson recommended. There is a washer that sits under each of the nuts/bolts that hold the cam covers on. These have rubber seals on the bottom which will have harderned into plastic if they are originals which means they probably won't seal again if re-used.

 

Order separately with the following part number but they came with the head rebuild kit I bought for doing valve stem oil seals.

Part no. 11201B WASHER, SEAL (FOR CYLINDER HEAD COVER)
