Not really looked too closely at that before, is it just a belt cover? Looks fairly easy to remove from the photo, unless it affects the running of the belts somehow...

Oil cap could look good colour coded too ;)

[afcbadam]

ive been looking at either a chrome one or a carbon fibre one, but waiting to see if one comes up for less that £15. last time i painted a oil cap it blistered up, must be the heat from inside the engine.

[stamford]

That is way too clean! :D

[afcbadam]

it will be nice and clean inside soon as well, just won a genuine oil filter for £4.50. just need to get the oil now!

Looks good a lot cleaner than mine!! Painted by bay over the weekend but it takes a lot more than paint to make the Kseries look good lol :(

[afcbadam]

my old k-series. rover 216 16v. i reckon it was around 125 bhp, stripped out and went like stink for a 1.6

started off at 109 bhp, had the induction kit, cat back, de cat, stainless steel downpipe, polished and ported head,

Still cleaner then mine :) what had you done to that then to get 125?

[afcbadam]

just edited it, 125 was always a estimate, never rolling roaded it.

there were a few other bits, i had an uprated coil thingy, quad core ignition leads, oil breather.

this was my favourite car..... only changed it as the missus was expecting and i needed a bigger car.... that had some rear seats!

My favourite engine bay of all time was looking under the bonnet to see a Rover V8........talking about my Brothers Land Rover Discovery that was killed last year :cry:

Such a lovely motor even if we never did get to the bottom of the 'plug fouling'.........I think it was just a need for new rings and that would have been a monster.
