im trying to do the rear bank rocker cover gasket and ive got everything out, except the damn cover!

the plastic conduit that holds the wiring loom is stopping me from taking the cover off!!!

grrr

ive tried stretching the loom and moving the metal pipe behind it, but theres not enough of a gap

Undo the injector clips, be careful as they're easy to snap...

Remove the two 10mm bolts holding the injector wiring onto the rocker cover...

Remove the two 10mm bolts at the back holding the wiring loom onto the rear of the rocker cover...

Should have enough room to squeeze it out...

Also, when refitting, be very careful not to damage the seal by scraping it on the cam gear as it's very easy to do and happened in my workshop once before...

the thing that is stopping me is the plastic conduit that holds the loom. its stopping me taking the cam cover off.

ive tried moving the loom and pipes behind it but no luck

Follow the loom to the right hand side of the engine...

Should be a few more 10mm nuts holding the loom to the engine...

Try taking them off and moving the whole loom out of the way...

Should have no worries then...

thanks rolla boy

finally got the cover off and manged to change the gasket

i tightened the cover in a cross pattern and checked all were pretty snug.

after i put the plenum back on i noticed the back part of teh cover looked like the bolts got tightened more than the front 4, how much of an effect will this have with leaks again?

they bolts werent tighted very much.
