Rocker Cover Repaint

[Rambo]

(As for the Isuzu grinding, I really don't understand why some people do that, there is nothing bad about Isuzu engines, and they have done a good job since it's reliable. My rocker cover has been ground by a previous owner, and I actually bought an original one ... which I still need to fit, one day ... )

Nor me. I can't understand it either. Great little engines

The previous owner of my NMY ground off the Isuzu but left the hyphen. Plain daft if you ask me as it now reads.................... - LOTUS

[Giniw]

Yes there is the hyphen on mine too ... and a Lotus sticker on the ground surface! (and what's more the black spark plug cover is a bit scrapped because I suspect it has been ground in situ! oO)
I really need to install the one I bought!

Interestingly though (and as mentioned elsewhere on this site), when I bought a spare cam cover at the Aftersales event for Lotus' 60th at Hethel, it came without the Isuzu casting - just the single word LOTUS.

From the shape of the cover, it is obvious that it was cast like it and not removed afterwards...... a few were amongst the final ones they had in stock.
