    Cam Cover Exchange System

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to tart up my cam covers for the Anglia - but I don't have a spare set, and once I strip the top of the engine down, I want to put fresh ones on as soon as possible.

    Would anyone be interested in getting an exchange system in place for cam covers?

    So - someone with a spare set (hint, hint) would supply them to the first person in line. This person will then polish/paint/whatever this set, and when they are ready, fit them, and pass on the ones they've just removed to the next person in line.


    If we have multiple sets of covers enter circulation, then it could be on a "first requested" basis.


    And the cost...? Well, I would simply recommend that the postage to send it to the next person in line is paid for by you.


    Is anyone interested in this?

    I would like to start the line off, but I guess I'd need a spare set of covers to start with!

    I will have a look and see if I have a set, but I might have cracked one of them due to over tightening the centre bolt. But I will have a look and let you know.

    Bye for Now!

    My manual legnum has swallowed the core of a sparkplug in cylinder #4 so is effectively dead (Garry, I spoke to you briefly at JAE, this Legnum with the misfire was on the stand next to your Anglia)

    I've bought an Auto as a replacement so I could remove the cam covers and you can use them as the donor set. The only problem is that I'm not going to have time to start for a couple of weeks. If Dave or anyone else can't help, remind me and I'll whip them off and up to you.

    Awesome, thanks Dave & Stuart! (Although, sorry to hear you've had issues that's caused you to need to buy an additional car/engine!)

    Having a couple of sets in circulation will hopefully reduce the delays for anyone else in the future!

    I've just bought a pair ( or will be when I've paid for them) for spares to do something with at a later date. Your more than welcome to "borrow" these as I have no immediate plans for them. If you PM me your address I will ask the seller to send them to you instead of me.

    Bumping this up as I've linked it elsewhere, and I'm still after a set of covers to play with so I can swap them onto my car, and then pass on my old covers to another person.

    Bump!! I need to take the cam covers off my Legnum soon, and would like a spare set to tidy up so I can do the swap!

    Then, of course, there will be a set ready to send on to the next person!

    @Erni902 - other than this weekend, the next chance I'll get to fit all the bits will probably be beginning of September, I'm that busy!! So, if I could have them by say mid-August that'll give me an opportunity to clean them up and get them painted ready to fit.

    I shall do my best for you mate, by all means don't rely on me as your only option as I can't guarantee when the engine will be coming out but I will keep you updated.

    Cheers! The more covers in the system the better for everyone! Surely people want to tart up their engine bays a little??
