    Default Gen3 3S-GTE Rocker Cover Removal

    The next chapter of my gen3 3sgte conversion is more frustrating than interesting.

    The rocker cover is leaking so the gasket needs to be changed. Apart from being held down by the usual bolts, there are three bolts on the timing belt backplate screwed into the rocker cover. These bolts are hiding under the cam gears. I really hope someone with a gen3 3sgte has removed the rocker cover without taking off the timing belt.

    I can't believe improvements to the 3sgte included a design that makes you redo the timing belt every time you want to remove the rocker cover. /end rant

    Are you sure about that?
    Don't think I've seen any toyota design that would force you to do that... Just doesn't make sense...

    Edit: I've seen a gen 3 3S cam cover come off without touching the front - you must be thinking of something else, or there's something else holding it...

    Yes it's ridiculous. To illustrate what I'm talking about:

    mine came off no worries, you may have to remove the front cover but im pretty sure either the plate stays on the cam cover or the whole lot comes of without removing the belt or gears.
    its been over 6 months, but it wasn't difficult.

    ps no rockers in there dude, it aint no shitbox sr20.

    cheers
