thats what she said
|
Shit, i'll check mine when I get home.
|
I'll put some calipers in there next time I'm at my dad's. Next weekend probably.
|
It's only off by 20 thou... hit the valve cover bores with a flapper wheel in a drill.... problem solved.

The Denso part #90080-19015 COPs fit in a 99-00 valve cover perfectly.

UHH Y8's why not just sand on the plastic abit, it looks like you are pretty close. Instead of trying to fuck with metal i say shave and sand on plastic. Or will that cause a short?
|
i'd rather not sand shit if I dont have to. especially when i dont want to sand through insulation of indeterminate thickness.
but yah if you guys can get some measurements on those bad boys and your valve covers, that'd be greaaaaaaaaaaaaat. |
like I said, I will put calipers on both next time I go to my dad's. hopefully by the end of the week or the weekend.
|
thanks ben

Haven't checked mine yet. Probably have the same problem with my '01. Looks like it's not just a valve cover either. That sucks.

I had the same issue on my 1.6. Apparently some coils have those little rings while others don't.
Simple solution- spend a few minutes with a dremel and a carbide cutter to take off the rings. |
Joe, I remember your post about that, but my rings are way thinner than yours. I'm not sure I could get the 20 thou plus clearance off that SOB. I can try though. It may be the bottom ring hanging up on the hole in the head.
for ref: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7583/coilhr4.jpg oh also for you 01+ guys, the flange at the top of the COP unit will run into the 01 coil mounting bosses. one has to go. |
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.
The holes in the head are significantly larger than the holes in the valve cover. like 3/16 in diameter. so that's good. I can probably bore out the VC slightly with no problems. |
shaweet.
|
What's the easiest way to bore out the holes in the valve cover? Dremel and sanding bits?
|
AlO2 jim hat and a clean copy of Swank. BAM.
I suspect Ark's suggestion is probably reasonable. Or if you have a 1" drill bit you can do it that way--no doubt it's faster. hmm. |
Oh come on mount the cover in a mill and use a flycutter. Not that it's what I would do but it would be an incredible waste of time for a smooth surface finish.
