I hope you have a secret on how you are gonna set the timing. That's why the cover is pretty essential. I wanted to remove mine also but couldn't because it has all of the marks on it. Helps too when you working on the motor with it's running which happens more than I would like. Those cam gears looks like they would eat a finger pretty quick. Need to throw up those pics of the car painted!!! Tell Rj to get moving on this thing. Needs to be ready for fm5 so we can have 5 turbo cars . That just sounds amazing. Lol
