Default Fingerprints on me Red Bits !
Picked my car up yesterday after some medical attention, which as usual was completed splendidly by John Cooper Ferring (West Sussex), I noticed that the surgeon must have taken his gloves off at some point as my red VTEC cover has a few oily finger prints.

Does anyone know a good way to clean the cover ??

Warm soapy water should emulsify that oil right off. Do it as soon as practicable before dust, debris and road grime become quickly attracted to the soiled areas.

I find window cleaner (the spray bottle type) bring the whole rocker cover up a treat.

I reckon you are stuffed. No option but to replace whole engine with a Mugen unit - or replace whole car.
