Cam Cover Spark Plug Hole Inserts
Discussion
Hi all, have searched but maybe not well enough- my cam cover is being powder coated, and before I took it in I stripped it and the 6 "top hats" basically dropped out which push into the holes where the spark plugs go.
I'll be re-fitting this weekend and just checking do I just push the 6 inserts back in with a bit of silicone to seal them? (I should add they appeared to have been previously fitted with resin/araldite which had come loose over time)
I also have the posh gasket to fit when I put it back on, if it makes any difference.
Cheers,
TC

It is indeed. I've tried to get bolts slightly longer but my stockist was out, will assess if I need to get longer ones when fitting it comes round!
I assume the top hat type inserts are so the HT lead seals tightly around the top. Picked up my covers yesterday- heres how they look! Look sooo good in the flesh, they will contrast perfectly with the gun metal grey car!
p.s. Matt I like your engine build thread
