Thread: removing plenum and rocker covers

i worked it out. the rocker cover bolts need a a 12 spline 8mm deep socket.
had to go borrow one.

the plenum just needed more elbow grease

what do i take off next?

Rocker gear mate by removing the bolts down the centre of shaft. 4 per shaft from memory. Then pull off roscker gear. Then remove pushrods and tappets but If reusing number them . Cheers

i'm trying to work out those 4 inlets.
there are 12 in total. and the outer ones (1,2 & 7,8 ) are a funny colour and its the same colour as the insides of the water pump. so i'm assuming coolant ran though those 4 inlets????
the coolant was drained 12 months ago, no i'm not that surprised about rust.
