hey RAT peeps,

Bought a chrome cam cover on ebay a while back and now I'm ready to install it while the weather is a bit too hostile for riding.

Removed the retaining bolts on the stock cover and noted that the rubber washers under them appear to be glued down, hmm, I thinks, probably destroy them by prying them up, so cut some new ones from a piece of neoprene rubber sheet - no problems.

Now I'm wondering whether when I lift the cover off if I am going to find that the sealing gasket is also glued into the old cover, so before I remove it can someone who has replaced the old cover with a chrome one verify if the gasket is loose or stuck down?
If it's glued in I'll probably need to find a new one - yes?

I also note that the cover is hanging on pretty tightly, is it just a matter of giving it a biff with a rawhide hammer to break the seal?

Thanks all.

Phil.
