I was in 2 minds.
Theres a post on here that shows specific spots yet many videos show them doing the whole thing.
one video is comical in that the amount he puts on is as if he has used a spade.
I figured that as it comes off easily enough I'd put a slither just to help it stick.
I can't imagine doing the whole thing would help help it leak. It may waste product but I still have 90% of the tube left at least and itll be binned anyhow

18hrs later and you can see the smallest amounts of sealent weeping out.

Is sealant not used on the inner gaskets around the spark plugs?

Sweet, I’m doing mine this week so I’ll put some on the spark plug gasket as well.

i think I’ll also put some under the gasket on the valve cover on the bottom part as if it’s gonna leak it’ll be there

I used brake cleaner on a rag and carefully cleaned the block surface. Not sure what it would do to oil in the cam area so was super careful.

I put a little sealent on the block at the bottom and then spent 6 or so minutes going the cover.
before I did any sealing I practiced how I was going to put it in without hitting the cams. I also had all bolts, spanner a d socket to hand so that once it was stuck I didn't need to break that initial stick.

As I had a spare t peice and didn't like the original oil pressure sensor wire flapping around loose I put it back in 😃

Make sure you screw the T peice in first and then a final turn after putting the after market sensor in the side to prevent fowling on the alternator.

Changed both the tracking rods & ball joints on my hawk. Jesus, had to grind the old ones off half way up then heat them up & use a 1 meter breaker bar + an extra sleeve ontop to get enough leverage to undo them 😂. I would seriously recommend reconsidering doing them unless you MUST. Oh and had to get the specific tool to actually be able to get a breaker bar on them.

not sure, first time I’ve fitted one. I’ve had whole inlet off and fitted TGV deletes but surely it can’t be fitted incorrect? All bolts line up so can’t see how anything could be wrong?

It’s a Samco group n pipe I believe

@Hawkins 1995 I bought new fuel rails and pipe for mine as it stinks when cold.
is it worth while me fitting pharrell lines before putting the inlet back on.

Much to the annoy mentioned Mrs
