Cylinder head cover
12/03/13 at 07:16:16
 
I have been doing the plug cap leak fix and yesterday I tried to dryfit the head cover, just to know how to do it later with the sealant. The thing is that i can get it on so that it fits into the locating dowels, but it is "wiping" (not being perfectly aligned). Iam pretty sure that the engine is set to TDC so there should be no pressure from the cam lobes. Could it be damaged? I have been very carefull when removing the cover. Or is this normal and will be pulled down when tightening the bolts?

Are the lobes on the cam facing up......or down?

The lobes on the cam are facing down and not in contact with the rockers arms if you are truly at TDC.

The lobes are facing down and alignment mark is in horisontal position

Check and see what the head cover is rocking on.....you should not have to use the bolts to pull it down.  You might have to back off the valve adjustment screws a little bit...you are going to have to adjust the valve clearance anyhow once the head is tightened down.

I wouldn't count on it pulling flat when you tighten,.. it might crack instead...
Make sure the alignment holes are clean... (maybe add a touch of lube to the pins)...

It came off flat,.. it should go back on that way...

Did you get all the bolts out when taking it off or did ya miss one & pry on it some before ya figgered it out?

Lay the head cover on glass & see if its flat, no matter what happened coming apart.

Great tip! Layed it down onto a glas table and it seems to be ok. Cleaned and put some lube onto the dowels and it sliped down a tiny bit more and now it dosent wiggle anymore Smiley

Don't forget the little oval shaped O-ring that fits on the right rear cylinder stud! Shocked

I keep some glass around just for such occasions. IN a pinch ( as in, you dont own a dedicated epoxy mixing board) it makes a fine epoxy mixing spot. I dont use cardboard because it soaks up some of the liquid out of the epoxy. Now, does that harm the epoxy? I Dont know,, I just want the best strength I can get out of any epoxy I mix, so, I dont risk it that way.
