no no youve missed the point. they are not called rocket covers at all it is either rocker or cam covers. SR20s have rocker covers and rb motors have cam covers. theres realy nothing to it any one can do it.

FFS. I would like to know if you can change them around. will 26 ones fit a 25 head ?

youve had your fun - now someone answer the question

Also 26 ones have a better baffling system so if you can get them for free or cheap it would be worth your while.

in the spirit of moving forward I'm doing us all a favour and editing the thread title like the good spelling nazi I am.

When I read it I thought it may be a question about different types of disruptive pattern camouflage available for covering up your RPGs and anti tank missile launchers.

FTR there are no "rockets" in your engine, and hence no such thing as a rocket cover. There are also no rocker arms in an RB26 as they use bucket and shim valve actuation. other RBs have hydraulic lifters, but still no rocker arms.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
