Ramon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hey npora members I change the head cover gaskets on my VG30E engine and this is the process after a hole day of fun I am proud of say this is the first "heavy" work I ever done on my engine so probably you notice I forget professional steps like cover the air intakes with something to avoid anything goes in there or something LOL but is was good to me because I learned how to do it. Is not the BIG job but is very hard I can tell. first of all the right side (the easy one) after cleaning the cover I change the Phillips screws for the hex head screws and the old gasket was broken in some areas the new gasket installed with the proper sealant and finally the right side done now the PITA work first remove the manifold was hard and when I get it done this is what I found after cleaning all and reorder the distro (Thank you very much MYPath1 for the big big help ) Because I forgot to put a mark in the distributor and I don't what to do but he told me just the right way. and finally everything back together well thats it hope you can tell me your opinion and shy not good and bas critics and suggestion claims etc etc thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 It could just be the light but does it seem like the rockers and springs get darker toward the back? The first one looks nice and golden from heat and oil but its also in the sun. cyl 3 exhaust is kinda in the sun and it looks brown. I'm not saying there's anything wrong(cause I don't know) Just wondering if it means anything or is caused by anything? Loose valve sleves? More heat toward the rear of the block?

I didn't notice until you mentioned this other view looks exactly the same different angle and the first three in the front are with same sun light I am gonna check again for this issue is very weird uh?
