I am at this step (post #13) in my teardown. Like in picture CCH DIY 061 my head only has the cam cover on the front (of the car) camshaft, so if my car is any indication it is correct to only have one camshaft cover.
On another note, my family decided that they wanted me to go with them for lunch on Sunday so I reluctantly stopped working before removing the head. I needed to move the car to a better work position so I put the right front wheel back on and took the car off of the jack stands and moved it to a better work location. I then went inside and took a shower. As I was getting dressed the Earthquake in Mexico hit (3:44 PDT) giving me quite a push or two and then minor shaking for 30 or so seconds. Had I continued working on the car I most likely would have been underneath the car disconnecting the turbo at the time of the Earthquake. I would not have wanted to be under a car on jack stands when the ground starts shaking. I probably would have hurt myself trying to get out from under the car.
Guess it's a good thing my family wanted me to go to lunch with them.  |
OMG!
You know I never considered planing for an earthquake when working on my NB's! Also, in my book Family First; it will save you every time!
As far as saving a copy, go for it!
It always makes me smile
when I have helped someone I have never met.
Yes, there is only one cam cover, I thought that was odd, but it is only needed because the ventilation tube connects above that cam. We would not want any condensation forming on the cam now would we?
