  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2021
  • Painting your rocker/valve cover is an awesome mod for anyone to give a go, from the beginner up, and can be done really cheap.
    We run you through our take on the process on our Barra in this video, and things get a little weird along the way as we tackle the plastic coil cover as well.
    And while we’re at it we show how to change all the valve and rocker cover gaskets on your Barra powered BA/BF Falcon (will also apply to TX & TY Territory’s and be near identical for FG, FGX Falcons and TZ Territory’s).
    Hope you enjoy, if you did and would like to support our little battler channel grow please consider liking, sharing with a mate and subscribe to keep up to date as videos come out!

    For those curious - Yes I bought way too much paint! Better that than not enough half way through though!?
    One can of each would be plenty.

    I painted stuff like my Coil cover and fuse relay cover in a nice gloss black, looked absolutely mint with a red rocker. Mines in Vixen to match the car. Might have to re-do her now haha. She looks mint mate. Also did all my plastic intake pipes and exposed bolts and bits and bobs like wipers and my power steering cover thing in gloss black, also did my heat shield in a matte black enamel, looks stealthy and mean.
    Also suggest getting a black Steele coolant reservoir, picked a second hand one up for $200 and it just completed it. You might like it one,
    will 110% be doing your blue and white Ford style on the badge up front. Might even paint the 4.0 DOHC in red to make it pop off the gloss black!

Turned out much better. Thanks for your great vids.

    Welcome back Browney! I have already done plugs and aftermarket coils trying to fix a bit of a miss, which is when I found number 2 or 3 plug hole was full of oil. I finished the job and then stupidly torqued down the RC cover bolts a bit more to see if it would help. I have not had any more missing, but I feel like I may have damaged the threads and gone a bit far.
    Anyway, I have a spare cover and a gasket kit ready to go. Wanted to paint the cover first of course but am wary of how much to attempt myself. Other videos have shown people struggling to remove the cam phasers but it seems like a lot less of a headache not to have to do this.
    If 2 RC bolts end up being threaded, will the others be enough to secure the cover? Should I just buy a new engine? haha, thanks for demystifying odd jobs as usual.

    • @BrowneysGarage
      @BrowneysGarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      One way to find out mate! 🤣
      Remembering that I have no real answer I'd have a stab and say that with a fresh gasket under there you may get away with it even if one or two do turn out to be threaded, but if they're in there and holding now they may not be damaged anyway. That extra height and new rubber of the new gasket I would think will help with the seal.
      Good luck and just see how it goes, don't burn the car to the ground or bin it just yet! 👍

      No clear coat on that part. Sure it would be fine but being plastic and having a bit more flex and movement than most metal parts I didn't want to add too many coats of paints, making it thicker and perhaps more prone to cracking/damage with this movement. Again, sure it's not an issue but just being a little cautious.

    G'day Browney, firstly awesome video mate. I followed this to remove the rocker cover for my MK2.5 08 XR6 but when I went to gently pry off the VCT phaser gaskets the passengers side solenoid came out with it - alarmingly not the whole assembly! Just half of it. So part of the assembly is still in the housing above the end of the cams.
    The only information I found online was about FG's where the whole vct solenoid can simply be pulled out. For BA's there's a screw which holds the VCT phaser in place. Do you have any idea for a BF if you're able to extract the rest of the VCT phaser without removing/affecting the cam??
