Cossy Rocker Cover

[texr2000]

I have seen a few N/A Cossy's in OSF’s and on the rocker cover they don’t have 'turbo' were some made with out it or do people have them filled in or something?

 

If someone could shed some light on it for me that would be good

They have it machined off i think mate

As 'turbo' is like indented if you machined it off wouldn’t that leave it a different height to DOHC 16V if you know what I mean. Cos that’s what I thought like when you machine ‘Burton’ off a x/flow rocker cover leaving it flat.

could be reproduction ones

Maybe they had it alloy welded then machined back?

Yes the ones i have seen have been completely machined off leaving a flat surface lower than the other lettering

Yep , machine off the whole rocker cover and lose the dreaded turbo logo , unless you've got a turbo of course

I had the TURBO machined off, and had a lasered plate made up with the engine builders logo on it, J.R.E. in my case, the plate was bolted on with M3 screws from underneath, put sealent on the screw heads, the screw ends formed the full stops, handy if you have a engineer mate with access to a milling machine! a bit complicated but effective
