I cant find a nice 1g cover, so I wanted to know if is it safe to run a 2g 7bolt cam gear cover on a 6bolt motor?
It seems to fit, but I'm paranoid like that around timing belts.
Anyone with a 6bolt in their 2g have experience? Are they the same?
Thanks guys.
 
Extreme PSI sells oem 1g 6bolt cam gear covers seprate from 1g 7bolt and 2g 7bolts.
Yet the clear one is 90-99. Timing belts are 90-99. Cam gears are 90-99, Crank pulley 90-99. Valve covers 90-99 WTF????
The only thing I can think of is maybe the tins that go behind the cam gears might locate the cover bolts differently. But to me, The 2g cover looks to be a good fit on my 6bolt. They cant be too different.
Someone with Caps please chime in.
