Hrm.

Firstly, you and I both know that the "z"s you used in that post are not correct. Nobody here likes to read that ebonics, lazy fingers ****. So next time, learn to type like an educated being or be smitten.

Secondly, you know that "electronic stuffs" makes no sense at all. Again, learn some grammar, or go away altogther.


Now, cutting off the side of the valve cover is done so that you can adjust the cam gears without having to remove the entire valve cover every time.

You do not need to do this for any other reason.

Adjusting cam timing can have an effect on your fuel curve, so tuning would be necessary. You'll need to schedule time on a dyno with a tuner to tune them.

If you need information on tuning or any other "electronic stuffs" search for the prelude tuning thread. There is plenty of info out there.

Probably a good way to keep an eye on the timing belt too. Do they buy a new cover later or just leave it open? Seems like it would be bad news if **** got in there.

Wow......

Ideally you want 2 valve covers. One cut for tuning and one not cut for driving.
