   im thinking of taking tidying up my engine bay a bit..
   thinking spraying (maybe paintsplattering) the strut brace, cam covers and ecu cover
   when removing the cam covers will i need a new gasket when putting it back on?
   or just take em off, spray and put back on jobs a gd 'un ???

   Needs a new gasket but you can't get them for the vts so have to make your own using gasket goo or high temp silicone. Maybe look into jp4 plastic covers from citroen or a scrappers as gaskets are available new from citroen.
