Freshened up the Inlet Plenum + Rocker Cover

[Rubicon_]

Due to the severe boredom of the holidays i decided to begin cleaning up the engine bay.

Thanks to the rain i only managed the inlet plenum and rocker cover done, still need to do the fuel rail guard and mount + a general clean.

Happy with the results, gets rid of the oil and grease!

Looks really good, need to do mine!! How did you do the rocker cover, in situ? Also what gaskets are needed when putting the inlet back on?

You have to do the rocker in situ yes otherwise the cams have to come off iirc. You can 90% of the time reuse the same gaskets but if you're really anal or their totally screwed they are a few pounds from Renault.

Yeah just left it on and covered everything up around it etc. As Greeny says the original gasket should be fine.

Cool thanks both. Was it a spray job or brushed on?
