Can anyone tell me the best way to get the valve cover off with this pipe in the way?
Thanks in advance :)
undo the two bolts holding it to the power stearing pump.
thats gonne be messy ;) hopefully it wont leak when its put back :)
you have to do what you have to do.
use a rag and wrap the hose end. the pump end wont leak coz it is higer than the resivour.
Thanks heaps for the reply, i was wondering if it was fine to remove it from there! i'll give it a go :)
worked fine :)
why u removin it?
Probably to change his valve cover

Just changing the valve cover :)

maybe you can just release the strap somewhere and move a bit to left... ?
i'm not sure coz haven't do it myself.. :p but anyway.. change the cover to which one? post up pics after.. :D
i reckon the mugen one *OH 45 HO
Nice...
Very nice. That's what I'm aspiring for my engine bay.
painted? or changed?
This is one area of car modification I really don't get - engine bay dress up
Now you need the silver valve cover and the black coloured dipstick!
I just wonder would you have problem with the warranty if you change the cover?
again, is it painted? :D
Sorry for the slow reply :p
i painted it using VHT Wrinkle paint :p
Well, it's really for people who like driving with the bonnet open :pQuote:

I guessed it again.
not really modding but rather "cleaning" it up and making it more pleasing to the eye....Quote:
