exposed cam gears

[jetdc2R]

Question: Im going to tune my car..and have adjustable cam gears...do i have to cut my rocker cover to expose them??

cheers

no. Its set by teh tuner , cam cover is put back on and tuned. If they need to be reset then the tuner takes the cam cover back off and sets and vice versa.

Its silly , because a tune is only ever really done once or twice and you play a big risk of something getting into the upper head or timing belt area and causing damage.

Or the tuner has their own dyno cover that is cut away & the original cover is refitted when the car leaves.

in qld it's illegal for a timing belt to be exposed, one of those weird rules, nice look though, maybe rig up some perspex to protect it, seen it once before

yeh thats what i would of done if i cut my cover but i decided not to, i like to keep my dc2r engine bay looking stock

if you dont mind me asking.. what cam/internal set up do you have??

on my D series i was only going to remove a small circle in the center of the plastic cover so you can see the cam gear ... but i like that perspex idea =)
