Posted: Sat, 01 Nov 2008 11:04 +0000No i used the old bolts, You can get them from http://www.boundville.co.uk/engine-parts-33-c.asp for a quid each or the front ones which are different from mx5parts, (steve did you ever get some for your car?)
Yeah i did replace the gasket, I've had the old one off twice and reused it so thought it best to replace it this time.
Just a quick note if you do take off your cam cover for any reason don't forget to have some gasket sealant handy. You need to apply a couple of dabs when refitting.

Posted: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 2:47 +0000do you have to use a torque wrench when replacing a cam cover ??
Posted: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 4:41 +0000Probably best to the first few times, it doesn't take much to tighten them down and/or snap them in half.
Posted: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 6:35 +0000Prob should be didn't, kind of got a feel for it at this stage (done it 3 times 
)

Undoubtably its a polished lacquered one?
Posted: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 11:25 +0000LOL polished indeed. I'll grab a pic sometime, simple solution but looks better than a bit of broken yellow plastic.
