I said i would write this up but i forgot to bring a camera when i installed this so im going to have to steal some pics.

Warning: i take no responsibility if you screw something up.

Tools needed
-T30 Torx
-Cresent wrench
-Screwdriver

This install can be done during the Evoms instal or after.

This write up assums you either A) know how to remove the coolant hose or B) have modified your engine cover like i did, by cutting the cover to make a C shape the coolant hose can fit into.

1) Loosen the two clamps circled in red. This will allow you to twist the intake upwards. This will make things easier in the end as trying to get put the intake tube into the cupling with the cover on is tough.

2) Remove the post the stock engine cover attaches to circled in yellow

3) Remove the two T30 Torx bolts on the left side of the engine circled in Blue. The bolts are the same as the bolts that run across the top of the engine. you can see the front bolt in the 2nd pic.

4) Remove the bolt on the right side of the engine cover (it may or may not have come pre installed)

5) Place the Evoms engine cover on the engine. Use the Oil cap as a way to line up the engine cover.

6) Re use the T30 bolts to attach the left side of the engine cover, loosly install these bolts to allow some movement

7) The right side of the engine cover attaches using the provided bolt that goes through a silver part of the engine then into the threaded portion of the engine cover. This can be seen in the last pic with the CF cover.

8) Once all three bolts have been hand tightened, snug everything down

9) Check the alignment around the oil neck. If the hole is not lined up correctly, pull from one end to straighten the cover. The cover is thin enough to bend easily into the correct position.

10) Twist the intake back down into position and tighten all clamps.

12) Stand back and enjoy your new engine cover.:headbang:

How do you remove the silver centre from the OEM cover?

Do you lose any strength by cutting a slot for the coolant hose?

remove the OEM cover, open it up like you are changing the filter (8 screws) and you will see 2 plastic rivits holding the silver section on. Cut those and the silver section will come off.

And no you wont lose any strength as the coolant hose is farther back than the screw to mount it.
