Title: cam covers
Post by: ffcgary1 on 04 June 2015, 20:53:43
About 6 weeks ago i replaced the passenger side cam cover with a new item. as several attempted goes at stopping the plug wells filling with oil, and failed.
So off to my local dealer who sold me a new cover.
I was told that the old type cover for the engines with plug leads had been changed and the only type availible was for the cars with cop.
Ok that will have to do then.WRONG.
So yesterday i went to another branch of the same group and ordered the drivers side, lol and behold what turns up the correct cover for cars with plug leads. very very pleased but i bang my head on the wall when dealing with dealer parts depts. so i now will have 2 new covers and 2 different types, will the cop covers last longer due to the improved cooling with large holes? We will see. watch this space.........
Gary.
