New valve cover is installed

LagunaMiata · 07-15-2006, 07:59 PM

See my post about the coil support...

Anyway, I finally go around to putting the valve cover on today.

All of the pics are here - http://public.fotki.com/relittle/miata/valvecover/

See it at MATG in a few weeks.

Looking great!

Phatmiata · 07-16-2006, 10:25 AM

Nice job, BTW what ever happened to the one that KG Works used to make? I always wanted one like that, but i think he stopped making them years back............ maybe someday ill find one.

RawRats · 07-16-2006, 01:24 PM

Looks good. Now, if you could just find a red timing belt...

brian · 07-16-2006, 02:34 PM

i think the toda timing belt is red

LagunaMiata · 07-16-2006, 03:22 PM

That would be PIMP!

Only $180:

LagunaMiata · 07-16-2006, 03:49 PM

Ouch! I'll stick with a Mazda OEM one!

djsqiigles · 07-16-2006, 04:30 PM

yeah, that looks great. I think I might have to do this one...

LagunaMiata · 07-16-2006, 04:54 PM

I need to send my spare intake manifold to get it done in red!

How big of a pain is it to swap intake manifolds??

Phatmiata · 07-16-2006, 05:51 PM

i think if you paint the intake manifold it would take away from that purdy valve cover.

OTOH, HKS also has a high-HP timing belt for NA6/8 Roadsters, i cannot remember what color it is though?

With the engine in the car, it's hard to get at some of the 9 nuts on the studs going into the head. Other than that, not too bad.

But your pimp looks like Cuppycake!

Found mine on a Google search...

brian · 07-16-2006, 09:13 PM

i heard the toda will NEVER break, not that we change timing belts that often. but if your swapping out cams/gears and have the coin it'd be worth it.

I am still holding out for gold metal flake 8) PIMP ...
