oh...yeah it doesnt matter if you take it off...I have drivin with it off....if it snaps the rb30 motor is ment to be able to spin free with out the valves hitting.....but all the same I wouldnt drive to much with it off.....

nah boys i meant the **** under the rocker cover, did u have to cover that up? im on holidays as of next week i might have a go.

Ah...now I see what you mean.....you probably should put a clean blanket over it...but as long as you don�t drop anything in any holes you should be right...I just take the cover off then close the bonnet so no crap gets in.....

cool thanks mate, hey is there anything like gaskets and stuff when i take the rocker cover off? do i have to be careful about that stuff??

yeah..there is the rocker cover gasket...its a rubbery one....I usually take mine out and give it a wipe to clean it then hang it somewhere......but mine is only new...so be carefull if its old or you'll break it and need a new one...

hmmmm, shinny plenums......got mine done about 12 months ago by a polising bloke for $40. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
