Race Engineering OPAS RXP/RXP-X Block-Off Install


By: Keith Kman Karamanos (Sept 1, 2008)
After much thought and from all the positive replies I have read on Green Hulk regarding
the RE Block-Offs I figured it was time I purchased a set. After I received the package
from Jerry, I was stunned to find no How To thread on how to install the REs. So here
we are.
1) Remove the OPAS U-lever by removing the bolts indicated by the arrows.

2) Remove the tie-rods by unscrewing.

2
3) Unscrew the bolt on the bottom of the OPAS Paddle. Also unscrew the small socket
head cap bolt on the top side of the OPAS paddle. After you do so, the paddle should
slide up and out.

4) After the paddles are off, remove the four hex bolts holding the cylinder support
assemblies. Gently pull cylinder support assemblies away from hull. You will notice a
small hex bolt on the hull when you remove the cylinder support assembly. DO NOT
REMOVE THE SMALL HEX BOLT!

5) Remove tie-rods from hull. This may take time and patience. Rotate the tie-rod slowly
as you remove it from the outside of the hull.

6) Remove the plastic cover on the inside of the pump tunnel. Keep the two screws after
you remove the cover piece, as you will be using them to install the block-off cover plate.

4
7) Reach into the hull and remove the accordion tubes. Removing the seat cowl makes
this much easier.

8) Clean the area where the REs will be bolted up to. Also clean the inside pump tunnel
where the block-off cover plates will be installed. Notice we did NOT remove the head
bolt.

9) To seal the REs to the hull and the block-off cover plates to the inside of the pump
tunnel, Permatexs The Right Stuff is highly recommended. You can get The Right Stuff
at most auto parts stores. This bottle was purchased at Kragen Auto Parts for $14.99.

10) Apply a bead around the perimeter of the block-off cover plates and also around the
bolt holes. Use the screws we saved earlier to secure the block-off cover plates to the
inside of the pump tunnel.

11) Make sure the REs backsides are clean. Test fit the REs before you install. The
mounting holes may need to be elongated. Apply a bead around the perimeter of the RE
and also around the bolt holes. Align the RE to the hull and use the applied bolts and
washers to secure the RE to the hull. Applying a small amount of The Right Stuff to each
bolt before installation is recommend.

12) Once you apply both REs to the hull and secure them, apply a bead between the hull
and the front of the RE. Wet your finger with glass cleaner and then run it along the bead.
This should smooth out the bead. Wipe off excess.
All done!
