the cam cover just unbolts using the top bolts, and if you don't ruin the seals you'll be fine. just make sure everything is clean like mating surfaces________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Cool, Do i need to top it up with some other form of sealant?And i think i read you do them up to about 8nm leave em for an hour or so and then go up to 10nm? Try and do them all up evenly as well? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

i tend to do stuff in a spiral working outwards but you can't really balls it up unless you're heavy handed and ruin the seals or they don't mate up right. the seals are part of the cam cover underneath so if they're good condition i'd just refit them and see what they're like________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

A thin bead of RTV sealent is a good shout. I just use it to the centre of the existing seal and then refit. If you've got a steady hand and use a thin bead you won't end up with a mess when you screw it down.http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_173106_langId_-1_categoryId_255217 ________________________________________  |

Just to add, I re-used my covers with oem seal and one leaked slightly. Removed all the oem sealant and put a c.3mm single bead of picture sealant on it, rested back in position for a few hours, finger tightened the bolts and left overnight, torqued them up the next day and it's been spot on so far. |

Question. How the #### do you remove the bolt in the far left hand corner of the cover, theres a reserviour of some sort directly above it which doesnt seem to give ypu any room to fit a tool in thats sizeable enough________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
