SPEEDY168 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I am thinking about putting on the blue valve covers from FRRP. I know I saw that someone had them on here at one time, but I cant find the thread. Does anyone have any pics or advice for installing these ? thanks in advance.

Z-man Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I like them, and think they look great, but.... They are supposed to be a gigantic PAIN IN THE to install. If you are doing it yourself, maybe you want to check out the instructions first. If you are having them installed for you, prepare to pay for more shop hours than you might think.

gtt500 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think it took me about 4 hours for both sides.Pass side no problem.Drivers side I removed brake booster and master cylinder for clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY168 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thats kinda what I thought by looking at them. The passenger side has plenty of room, but the drivers side is another story. they do look good though. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 My Hot Rod 4.6 came with the blue valve covers. They look pretty nice on the blue cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've been wanting to do this as well, but have been putting it off due to the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 They look nice. Any advice on the install? Like everyone else said, the drivers side is a real bear. I pulled my master cylinder thinking that's all I needed. No dice. I removed all of the nuts and the rod under the dash to pull the brake booster and it still wouldn't allow enough room to get it out. I put a crowbar behind the booster and pryed out on it and FINALLY was able to work the cover out with MUCH twisting and turning. When I went to put the new cover on I loosened the bolts on the drivers side subframe (K-member) and dropped the engine down just a smidge. THAT did the trick. The cover went back in without any hassle at all. There's only two bolts and two nuts on each side of the subframe. Just support the dr. side with a jack, remove the nuts/bolts and loosen on the pass. side. You won't regret it. And yeah, they DO look sweet.
