My 2010 Sport

Well I finally got the covers installed. But even that wasn't without panic mode

So you'd think if you are assembling cylinder heads for these as a builder you'd know the tensioner's need to go on before the cam cap/vvel ladder assembly goes on



So I can tell you who wasn't about to pull all of THAT back apart. The rear bolts for both tensioner's were easy to get to from the valve cover side and I used 2 bolts a few threads shorter and shaved the heads a bit and I wiggled them in for the front. The drivers side was NOT an easy task to tighten. Loctite was used.


I got this far before I realized something was up


Not sure why I asked for white on the gear cover pieces. It looked good in my mind, still kinda does. Once the motor is in it won't be so ...in your face?


Another shot of the covers in better lighting


Finalized everything on the passenger side turbo/plumbing wise. I had to seal the compressor housings old school style with a tiny bead of RTV since the o rings weren't there.

Plan is to get it installed before I go on vacation next week. The hard part is going to be getting it out of the house and to the car. I see a ply wood sheet rail road in my future
