camshaft bolts will be painted soon to tidey them up.
do you think i should keep the timing cover black and keep the carbon look rocker cover.

or spray my standered rocker cover and new timing belt cover and a few other engine parts anthracite to match my alloys?

[AL]

I was gonna say that ^

As for the colour coding - i'd spray them all personally. Maybe even do your battery cover the same?

[benlee]

tommorow i will be doing my camshaft timeing useing my verniers.
and a new engine styling mod will be done will post up pics tomorrow.

 

[dogsy]

tell us more about this water wetter.

read a couple of things in mags about it, but does it actually work ?? have you noticed any difference with it, and how much was it ??

 

[benlee]

its on ebay for around £10 (got mine local for £6 trade).
only put it in today got a nice long drive tomorrow with a mix of conditions from town to motorway driveing will report back tomorrow if i notice a diffrence.

on the bottel says will reduce running temps by upto 20 deg.

 

[benlee]

the wter wetter has deffantly made my engine run cooler.

 

[dogsy]

sounds like it works then (sick of seeing adverts for "amazing" products that do nothing except empty your bank). for that price it sounds like a decent buy.
