Valve Cover Cutting
 

Anyone in town do plasma cutting? I want to get the timing belt area chopped off. Any recomendations? Thanks

use a dremel

oh and dont cut the timing belt..

Ummmm the valve cover is off the motor. And a dremel is nice and all but id rather have a pro do it!

pro only, mine was chopped but done in japan

i would use a band saw or a cut off wheel. It will clog the disk up but it should be good enough for that size of cut.

Chris hit me up my neighbor does it....

just use a grinder. thats how I did mine

a grinder or cut off wheel will do a much cleaner job then a plasma cutter. you can do this yourself with as good of results as any "professional".

i would think a grinder would work fine if you take your time and just clean up any uneven parts after

just use a dremel or a grinder with a cut-off wheel, la a tape line where you want it to be cut, and go slow and steady
Plasma cutter would be the wrong choice for cutting that.

Fuck cut the timing side off completely like I did...

plasma cutter does a better cutting job than a grinder by far!

i use a mill and just take enough material off to remove the end of the cover. a plasma cutter is a HORRIBLE way to do it. a grinder with a .040 thick cut off wheel will also do just be careful when using that thin of a cutoff wheel, if you lean on it sideways too much the cut off wheel will explode and you will most likely cut a few of your fingers. below is a b series i did. good luck

I would not use plasma or dremmel

just be careful and don t do it all boondock status lol

its aluminum it will probably worp with a plasma cutter
