As I am likely to be removing the top end of this engine more times than normal, I wanted it to be easy.
So I tried to get more space above the valve cover.
Firstly I removed the ignition coil that involved 3 6mm bolts with a 10mm head( it goes back of course) then the overflow canister, which doesn't take up too much room there but was easy pickings.
The overflow hose no runs down to the ground along the left side of the downtubes just by reusing some of the hose.
Then the little solenoid operated valve that purges the fumes to the Inlet, a small plug glued into the tube on the throttle body and a 39 ohm resistor was put in the electrical.plug so as not to throw a code.
These come in sets of 5 and cost less than 2 bucks.
If anyone wants one just PM me, it will cost you the postage.
