[symsymma]

Got a gen rockercover gasket and injector seals are these easy to change?bearing in mind im a bit of an engine novice lol.also to spray rocker cover could i degrease/clean with carb cleaner?and my last question i want to spray it black is it just a case of prime,spray,lacqer etc and would all these 3 need to be high temp paint.any recommendations?

got mine done from dubunit seems like a easy job if you have the right tools and know what you are doing .. after seeing it done i would have a go myself 

for the spraying rocker cover part you need loads of elbow grease and time .. was going to do mine but cba as i aint got the time aint even washed car in 3 months

Injector seals are easy, I did mine on my ARZ. I spent the day taking the inlet manifold out and polishing it as it it was hanging from all the leaking fuel

inlet mani is easy to get off, takes about 20mins. The seats wind out, make sure you use some decent fuel/oil resistant sealant when you put the new ones back in. The injector O rings just roll off the injectors but be careful of the pintles (where the fuel sprays out)

I painted my inlet mani with a pot of high temp satin black paint from Halfords and brushed it on, came out quite nice in the end

All I did in the way of prepping the inlet mani was too degrease it and then a quick going over with a wire brush, paint is still there with no flaking off after nearly 2 years now

The seats that fit in the manifold are dealer only mate, you won't need o rings as your injector kit had new ones. Just give me a shout whenever mate and pop round
