Resolved All 6-bolt front engine covers the same?

[Psi'dGS-T]

I just wanted to know if the non-turbo 6 bolt and the turbo 6 bolt front engine covers are the same. I just picked up a 6 bolt and the cover has a crack in it. Thanks in advance.

Which front cover are you refereing to?

When we talk about front covers we are usually talking about the cover the the oil pump and oil filter housing attach to and the crank and upper balance share pass through.

They're the same.

They're the same.

Yup. On both. But yes, there is a front cover(case) and the timing belt cover and I have used both from turbo and non turbo.

I'm talking about the cover that the oil pump bolts up to, and where the balance shafts pass through. Thanks for the response, since they are the same i should have no problem finding one at the local wrecking yard, thanks guys.

If your looking for an oil pump ROCK sells a nice front case and gears for 150$ and I love mine oil pressure has definantly improved over factory. It was a nice piece compared to the dealers 300$ for just the gears.

I used Baker Import Auto Parts 770-988-8584
They are a ROCK supplier and I had them ship it to me since Atlanta is 3hours away from me. It was like 136 or so then like 20$ shipping for it and my full engine gasket set which I must say was top notch. The front cover comes with the gaskets and seals already in it. I believe the owners name was James ask to speak with him and make the arrangements real stand up fellow. I dealt with them because the president of ga.dsm.org used to get ROCK products from him for his own auto business.
