Valve cover

[africatijn]

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the rear valve cover (on a RD04) without removing the engine?

The engine is sweating/leaking there, so I need to replace the gasket.

Tijn.

I know it can be done on the RD03 and 07. The rear cover is fairly easy actually. Front one is more fiddly but if you remove or loosen some of the surrounding parts, twist it around in all possible position while scratching your fingers than this will work too, eventually. Good luck!

Ah cheers,
I'll probably cut myself then, as I'm used to, and swear a lot, but eventually get the sodding thing out... Same as removing the carbs through the bit where the airduct is... what a pain that is.

Cheers,
T.

If you don't cut yourself or drop something on your toe, then you haven't done the job properly, I cut the back of my hand washing the wifes car yesterday
