i want to take the top of my valve cover off and i was wondering if i have to take the whole valve cover off to do it. its a d15b2. it looks like i just have to unscrew 2 or so bolts.

 

huh? if your talking about taking the timing belt cover ff then yes its like 3 bolts and the top half will come off, but the bottom half thats a pita..

 

hahah thats what i meant. twas a typo sorry. dyslexia is a bitch hah
anyway... yes i was thinking about taking the top of the TIMING BELT COVER off. i just want to see the cam gear spin cuz i think it looks cool. will any dangerous amounts of dirt or anything get in there is i take it off?

 

no you can take it off with no troubles i have no cover on mine at all, take the 3 bolts out and pry it from under the valve cover(theres a lip there that holds it in).

 

ok cool. ive been trying to clean up my engine bay a little bit without eliminating my creature comforts like power steering and whatnot so i think that would look nice

 

take out that damn evap canister its un needed clutter.

 

if you're trying to clean up the engine bay, and you haven't already.. convert it from dp to mpfi. seems silly to remove a perfectly functioning cover just to see the cam gear spinning around.. but whatever humps your camel.

 

haha watching a stock cam gear spin looks cool? youll have to take the valve cover off to remove that top piece. and personally i rather have the cover there to protect my timing belt like honda intended

 

you dont have to take the valve cover off, just pry the t belt cover from under the lip of the valve cover. takes 5 min to take off.

 

i want to convert to mp but i have no money right now. im just cleaning stuff up because i like fidling with stuff and i dont have the money to do real fiddlin

 

x2. leave it on. if something get flung into your engine bay while driving and gets inside there, it could cause a lot of problems for you.

 

yea that was my only question about doing because that was a concern of mine. Final decidion: leave it on. gracias

but i do have more questions as far as mpfi goes. can i use any mpfi manifold and fuel injectors and whatnot from a d-series engine? what else do i have to change? i know i have to do some wiring and do something with the ecu.
