when you're tightening the valve cover, you have to tighten it from inside out. Basically from inner most, then go back and forth between both sides. If you tighten left side then jump to right side, then left side again. Like this:



8-----7
2-----5
---1---
4-----3
6-----9

If you want to take off the valve cover, then it's outside in. One more thing, this is for RWD layout engine (since I have RWD SR20DET), so you have to turn it 90 degrees

It'll be funny if people on the forum actually believes in everything others say . . . people might tell something completely wrong and they won't know it . . .

Okay this is inappropriate banter.

NismoRPS13...you've managed to develop a bad taste in most people's mouths.....if think it's in poor taste to "expect" a response from your help. If he didn't check back, he didn't check back. I don't get "thanks" every time someone gains insightful knowledge from a post that I've left.

TX180SX: You crack me up buddy! Thanks!
