If your engine cover opens weakly with not enough torsion spring power, here's a simple and easy fix. Just take a one inch section of half inch diameter delron rod and drill a quarter inch hole through it. Then pry the end of the torsion bar up with a screwdriver and slide the plastic tube on it. The tension on the rod will keep the spacer in place, and you can sequentially add up to four spacers total, one on each end of both rods maximum. That way you can increase opening power as you add each spacer and decide when it's opening power is just right. This picture shows you the plan.
