Removing Rb26 Rocker Cover

[Topaz]

Hello,

I have this sudden urge to get my rocker cover powder coated and I was wondering how easy it is to remove the 2 side pieces?. I have been told that the front is easy enough to remove and I have had the top piece off in the past.

Any helps?

Also, anyone got a retail price on a paint-strip and powder coat of the 4 pieces, plus a chroming of the "Twin Turbo" pipe?

cheers

Tom

Top rocker covers are fairly easy too, on the exhaust side you will have to remove the twin turbo pipe from memmory but not overly difficult, while its out get it polished , you dont have to chrome it .

or get it powder coated metalic silver

you dont have to chrome it .

Remember kids: stay in school and say no to chrome.

I had a similar urge one afternoon to paint my Rocker covers, I already had the paint and figured it "Should take about an hour"............

Well, Although not a hard job by any stretch of the imagination it did take quite a lot longer than I expected, with removal of a few more parts than I had expected.... all up I think it took about 3 hours, and I rushed it as it was getting dark.

Also, be carefull when removing the ignitor wires from underneath the 'rocker Valley cover' (?) I did'nt put mine back in correctly and not long after painting the rocker covers the car ran like shit as the plug had vibrated loose.....took ages (and a few $..!) before I diagnosed the problem.....
