Can’t you use the rocket cover off the dead engine?

Yes but I don’t have a gasket to hand and it’s all going in today.

I swear I've read somewhere that the F4R cam/rocker covers are matched to the head due to the inbuilt cam journals. Is that right or a myth?

Cam covers are matched to cylinder head due to cam journals, so cant just swap.

Its cambelt, cam pulleys off and anaerobic flange sealant for the gasket, fairly big job.

Id paint that in high temp silver, or remove and aqua blast.

Good to know. Last thing to sort at minute.

Onwards and upwards tomorrow.

I’m gonna get hate for this but i’m hoping everything slots in nicely so i can keep the slam panel which means i don’t have to put pins through the bonnet.

Shall find out tomorrow.
