Timing cover I can understand...Are these parts commonly ceramic coated in drag racing?its a cheap alternative to polishing it, never goes dull, never needs polishing.basically, part of having a drag car is getting sponsors, I want my car to look awesome from exterior and also engine bay.so the better it looks, the better chances I have at securing a sponsor Edited 06/07/09 03:20 PM by Tocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check it out.appreciate the advice ok here's how to remove a Barra motor oil pump... pain in the ass compared to E-series.I had to remove: sump, timing cover, rocker cover (big bolts go through the timing cover), chain tensioners, harmonic balancer.. etc, list goes on.I used the billet oil pump gears, due to the stock ones failing at usually around 350rwkw.some places recommended the billet oil pump casing too, BUT ive been told the standard housing is better, due to the billet casing being more brittle. so a big bump or rev.. might crack them.(ill just make them thumbnails due to the fact theres 21 photos of this process, just click on the thumbnails and they will link you to a larger photo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
