hiya guys- how hot does your rocker cover get after say, 10minutes on. no thrashing just a puttle up the bypass at 50/60mph.
its been so long since i drive my G that i cant remember. my rocker cover is scalding after 10minutes. i have an oil cooler fitted amd the oil pressure is good.
is it worth fitting a breather to the rocker cover?
They get pretty hot tbh. I wouldn't want to lick it put it that way.
i know they get hot - i just dont know how hot - if i have a problem i kinda wana sort it lol.
Will probably be at least 70'C mate
Burnt my arm on mine yesterday.
Then again after my piston melted and that was ridiculously hot!
pretty hot then, wonder if theres any way to cool it down a bit? hmmmm might weld some fins to my spare that ive got for my 1W turbo
Well i thought about this and the only thing i can think of is that if your running a charger with the boost mod, you can get a pipe to fit from the throttle body to the rocker cover so its always putting air through.
Or you could fit a different rocker cover and have a breather going off it to let some heat escape.
i welded that up! il just live with it i reckon, i have a spare rocker so i may experiment i dunno yet
I seem to remeber a very rare rocker on a g60 that had lots of fins on it to act as a heat sinc was in a past issue of pvw I'll dig it out later if you want ?
its on kennys rallye, the proper mint black one with crackle black engine bay iirc. i know which you mean and that is exactly what im thinking.
thought i remembered it from some where. looked realy nice you could proably re-create something like that especialy if your handy with a tig welder
anyone got a shot of that?
