Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been covered before, i did a search but to no avail. I've finally got an m50 manifold but i also want to use an m50 fuel rail cover. Can this be made to fit the m52 engine. Im sure i've seen it done but not sure of how to make it fit.

Thanks,

Bhups

From memory I kept the M52 fuel rail on when I did my manifold which makes the cover sit about 1/2" too high.
Looks ok without but would prefer it on.

Neither the M50 or M52 cover fits 100% on an M50 manifold using an M52 fuel rail. It's down to which shit fit you prefer IIRC. I butchered my M52 to fit better.
