Front and Rear valve Cover removed.







On the later model, the routing of blowby gas was changed to prevent the issue of excessive oil mist entering the intake manifold under high G cornering.

Same on the rear bank cam holders.

In the process of cleaning the valve covers and front/rear TB mid cover.


Once it’s done, time to install the new gaskets and seals with small amount of liquid gasket to hold them in place.


By doing this now, it will allow liquid gasket to cure in time for the re-asembly process.
