Default help with top rocker box cover install

Gents, in the process of blacking out the engine and want to put on a set of rocker box covers - upper housings only! Is this simply a case of removing the tank, bolt off and bolt on with new gasket? I dont have to drain oil etc etc do I?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers

SnakeEyes

I wouldn't think you'd have to drain oil because of that damn gravity law....I don't know for sure though

No draining your oil. When you use the same covers again the gasket is only for your peace of mind. Tighten the bolts as mentioned.

Take off, put back on. Just follow the torquing procedure and bolt order in the manual.
