Removing Cam Cover Bolts the Hard Way

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Thanks for sharing Cliff and everything looks great. That was a good investment with the head studs from Randy Woods too. I might have to bug you more if I run into any issues and will try the pulley while I'm at it. Do these mods ever end? I think the only way I will leave this car alone is if I stop looking at this website. Take care and thanks again, Craig

Just remember the Billet Aluminum Belt Tensioner Pulley when inststalling needs just a 5 minute touch up of the Belt Tensioner outer Boss and install the pulley with the bearing snap ring facing the engine See item #9 of Bling (Carter and Others)

Okay, thanks. I'll be sure to consult with you before I jack it up.

Does anybody offer an SS Allen head bolt set for the covers in black that looks more like the stock bolt?
It would be nice to have the advantage of the Allen head, but retain the original look.

I am not sure about SS but there are plenty of Metric 8mm x 1.25 Black Oxide Allen Head bolts available........and the Cam Cover Bolts do not have to be torqued more than about 19 ft-lbs. I use Dowty Washers which have a rubber seal (Jerry's Gaskets) which rubber seal acts as a lock washer Cam Cover Dowty Washers

Painting Cam Covers and Plenum (the quick substitute for Powder Coating)

Cliff,

Billet pulley on the way from UPR racing. Thanks again and I'll let you know if I need any help with the mod. Looking at your other post, I think I got it. The billet aluminum alternator housings are done so I'll update how those are once I get them; not enough interest for a group buy.
