Polishing engine bay parts

[MotoX]

has anyone polished their rocker covers on their rb25det?

if so is it easy to take the rover covers off.

im not talking about the plastic bit in the middle, i mean the part where u pour oil into.

and another question is can the gaurd that is infront of the cam gears be removed and driven around, i was hoping it had a nice whering sound being gilmer belts.

there is a thread in here somewhere if you do a search under polishing im sure that you will find what you are after.......if not look under rocker cover polishing.Rocker cover removal something allong those lines.or try head gasket replacement....yes thats how mine is at the moment but you also run the risk of somyhing falling down the gapeing hole thats left.

You can get "clear" covers for them. They are available for the RB26DETT but on Nengun it says they fit RB25DET also

can you get aftermarket rocker covers?

I dont think u can get aftermarket cam covers for the RB25DET

They arent hard to take off motoX,

I took them off for the first time, polished them and put them back with no problems.

So anyone can do it really, just make sure you leave the bonnet down whilst the covers are off and that nothing falls into the cams. Also make sure you look after the rubber runner seal around the bottom of each cover. Clean it when you take it off, you dont need to line it with oil when you put it back either.

Oh and when you put it all back together, dont rev the engine at all for about 10min. Let it idle and get oil back up there.

Cheers,

PS- Check my gallery moto, there is some pics of the covers off, before and after shots etc
