Title: Rocker cover takeoff
Post by: golfmk2boy on 15 March 2006, 20:11

Hi,

I need to take rocker cover off to check my cam.  I just need to know what is involved, do I have to do any prep before taking the thing off?

cheers!

YEH PRETTY straight 4ward. just clear the hoses n pipes that run over the rocker cover. you dnt have to but will make life easier in step two.

step two unbolt the rocker cover and remove.  :tongue:

pretty straight 4ward as i said. why do you need to check the cam anyway? its going to pointless opening it up like that to check the cam. You wont really know what your looking for?  :undecided:

I need to look to see whether the cam is modified.  Im having problems with pinking which obviously is related to timing.... Just a vw racer thinks it has.. I need to take it off to fit a new gasket anyway.

Also need to find out what the oem oart number is for a standard cam as I believe it is printed somewhere on it.

..... only going to take it off when the new gasket comes from ebay.

Thanks for help so far matey!
