tappet cover finish

<< < (2/2)

Ok thanks folks, just need to find a couple of  good ones on the working engine and continue polishing.  And yes they seem to get a bit  chewed up by ham fisted mechanics.

Looked at the Chinese ones, they look to be sand blasted or powder coat with quite a rough finish.

I  just use a 3/8 drive 6 point socket to get them off and just put a 6 point ratchet wrench on the Santa clause wish list.( Don't need anymore socks!). Is  there better way to undo them.  Have seen  them in the past where they are completely rounded off and someone has  tapped them loose with a chisel.

Regards
Dave
