Front cover or Front Case... question?

[EclipseGSX13]

Is the front cover the same as the front case? I'm not sure what it is, does anyone one have a picture of this so I know exactally what it is I'm looking at.

Also where is a good place to buy one from, for a 1g 6-bolt?

Thanks guys

I still need to find a place that sells these. Prefferably under $125

advance auto sells them for $235.00 for the beck arnley.i got mine through a shop in daytona fl for $185.00 but the gasket that comes with it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!it started to leak after awhile so i went to mitsu and with the dsm discount it was like $13.80 its a way better gasket like a rubber paper type and not the shitty all paper one with the beck arnley.but i have not had any problems with the oil pump or front cover.


yes, the front cover is the same as the front case but its the oil pump also.

ok, so the term Front Cover refers to the front case and the oil pump also.

Slowboy Racing said they could sell me a front case for $155, does this sound like a good deal. I have a front case on my engine right now, but it has 65k miles on it. Would it be ok to use, or should I just get a new one since I'm getting a new engine put in.

yes

$155.00 is a very good deal,and if you have the money replace it.i would still get the mitsu front cover gasket if you get the all paper one with the front cover.my problem was the rear balance shaft was bent where it goes in to the oil pump gear and was causing it to crack on the housing on the front cover.you could see the discolor on the balance shaft itself.how it did this i dont know the car leaked oil bad when i got it and finally traced it down.so after taking out the balance shafts and putting a new front cover on again with the misu gasket i have had no problems at all.oh and with the first new front cover when i used the all paper gasket with it,it leaked about three months later and the housing cracked again.this was befor i found out what was causing the f/c to crack.
