Gaz6002 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Erm, yeah? So it covers the spark plugs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So it covers the spark plugs too. The spark plug cover covers the coil packs, which cover the spark plugs. Anyway, he was talking about the cam pulleys being on show, and the front edge of that plastic bit in question is what covers them. On here, commonly referred to as the cam cover, for example: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Cam covers are the two covers that cover the cams, spark plug cover is the plastic centre, have a look on any suppliers website and see how they refer to each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam covers are the two covers that cover the cams, spark plug cover is the plastic centre, I agree, never the less it's commonly referred to as the cam cover on this forum, people don't normally get told off for it, only Matt.

JamieP Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Yeah thats true, they are flippy electric ones, will try a run each way to see if it make any difference. Hope we have a good tail wind again this year, last year we had a 17mph tail wind that must have helped.

Matt H Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 12 more mph then. Doesn't sound much but every single mph is more of a struggle than the last with that kind of wind resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Guys....on the 238 pass, the chute didn't open, SW went off track at 125+ mph. He is luckily ok but car is pretty torn up. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
