Description

Our alloy rocker cover has the MED logo CNC engraved into the front face, is machined internally for roller rocker clearance and has dual 1" (25.4mm) breather outlets. It is also machined for fitment with an 11-stud cylinder head. Of course you can fit this to any nine-stud head too.




The kit includes;



    • MED alloy rocker cover with 1" (25.4mm) breather outlets


    • MED stainless steel rocker cover fixings


    • Chrome filler cap (optional MED billet alloy upgrade)


    • Cork rocker cover gasket





We can also supply a non-breather tube version or a complete MED breather kit.

Please note, there may be some residue polish on your cover, left over from the buffing process. Simply buff clean with a microfibre cloth once in situ.

Use metal polish to maintain the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rocker cover fit with roller rockers?

Arrow

Yes, we mill the inside rear of the rocker cover to allow clearance for MED roller rockers. Other brands should also fit, but we have only tried our own. If the rockers are situated quite far back on the head in relation to the rocker cover, loosely install the fixings and there is some adjustment available on the rubbers, so push back on the cover and nip up the fixings.

What do the breather hoses attach to?

Arrow

We suggest the side breather tube is connected to the Mini clutch transfer using using the adapter MED-5994-TCA. The rear breather we would then connect to a catch tank, such as our own under-wing design, part number MED-5912-CT.

Does this breather rocker cover fit all A-Series engines?

Arrow

We would only recommend these for classic Mini/Metro fitment, as the inline Sprite/Midget A-Series engines would position the breathers towards the rear of the engine bay. These do not usually fit with a supercharger install. Minis with a bulkhead-mounted brake servo should be ok, but the breather hose routing can be more difficult.

Can you supply the cover with no logo, or a custom logo? Or extra pipes?

Arrow

No, sorry these are all machined and welded up at the same time as the internal modifications, so it's not viable for us to offer customisation.

Do you have any tips for installing the gasket?

Arrow

Clean the gasket surface on the rocker cover with a suitable degreaser, wipe clean and stick the gasket in place with contact adhesive. This will make future rocker adjustment a much easier job.

Is there a torque setting for the top fixings?

Arrow

We would advise to use a spanner (5/8" AF) and nip-up by feel, as over-tightening the fixings will damage the rubber seals.
