Does carbon always crack due to the heat? cus i was thinking of getting carbon but im not sure cuz a lot of the ones ive seen have cracks in them after awhile and it just looks ugly and ill probably just get something else

 

Yeah I also wonder about this as my spark plug cover is damaged, and I want to replace it with something and I was thinking carbon fibre, but I heard that it shriks in high heat, causing damage sometimes.
Do any people here have any experiance with carbon bits in the engine bay getting damaged?

Does anyone know of some other non carbon replaements for that cover?

 

Lancershop sells some ARC Titanium Covers but their rather pricey for just spark plug covers.

 

if it is a good weave with good prep, you wont have any cracking or warping

for high end stuff, HKS Kansai makes a kit that is awesome

We also now have the dry carbon fiber ones made for us at a more affordable price

the z1 carbon. would u happen to know if these will warp? if not i might just get the arc ti

 

he said it doesnt.. i havent heard of any of there's having props since they came out... nobody has complained that i saw...

 

My CF spark plug cover has tiny hairline cracks all through it due to the heat. I am pretty pissed about it, but I should have known. I also want to get the cam gear cover. Can I buy that seperately?

 

yes we will be seling the cam covers by themselves too

it cracked due to the heat? are you sure you did not overtighten by chance? came from us?

 

CF only cracks due to overtightening or crappy resin.. you have to make sure it is heat treated if it is under a high-heat area.

 

okay thanks! helped a lot im gonna give z1 a call soon
