Newbie question:
How do you actually get access into the valves on my 1.8L? I 've set valves on other cars many times before, but I can't figure out how you get into the (heavily obscured) valve covers! |

Pull out all the heater stuff and install headers. Then you have plenty of room. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
First time I went to do valves on a car that still had all the heater stuff, I thought it was near impossible. Turns out, its just frusterating. Zach |

Zach Hey zach, on the heater stuff, I kept overheating my oil temp~250 or so and could not find any issues. One morning I decided i had enough rattling from the pass side heater ducting that wasn't hooked up anyway, so I stripped everything off except the actual heat exchanger. I blocked the output hole on the fan shroud, then drove the car around. Drove 300+ miles since and my oil temp stays at 190, never over 210 now. Sound logical to you ?
