cam gear cover

[stangtalontsi]

if you have upgraded cam gears can you have them without the cover on and still drive with it off or will anything happen?

I never had one on there until I just recently bought one. It's only there to help from getting debris in your timing belt and ####ing everything up. Having aftermarket cam gears isn't gonna change anything.

Yes you can drive without the cover regardless of what kind of cam gears you have. I would not suggest this though, as one small rock into the timing belt would not be good at all.

CAPS lists it as "Cover, Timing Belt". The part number is MD191807.

So fast and so helpful , i tried looking online but cant seem to find pics. You have a clue where i can get a used one ? if not i will buy from a dealer

Check junkyards and the classifieds for people parting out 2g's.

Here is a good site to get oem parts from:
OEM Mitsubishi Parts

The cover is $29.34 from there.

Timing covers are there for a purpose. I know it looks cool to see your cam gears go round, but its better to leave them on unless you like a broken timing belt (or jumped timing),

Seriously, if you want to show those cam gears off, get a clear timing cover from; DSM Performance Parts Turbo Eclipse Talon - Zaklee DSM Clear Cam Gear Cover
They're high quality and you can still see your gears. I installed this cover personally.

Silverbullet, after I read the heading for this thread I was waiting for someone to mention, let alone post a pic, of one of those clear covers. That looks even better than what I imagined it would look like.

So did I considering the stock cam gears. Glad I could help. These covers are awesome and a steal for the price imo.

I was sceptical about buying a clear cam cover with stock gears but it looks very nice. It will look even nicer with my hks cam gears and matching timing belt.

 

[silverbullett]

Post some pics after you Gitrdun.

No problem. Its bad when you have a set of HKS 272's sitting in your room for 4 months becuase you spent the money on that and the money saved for gears gets spent on new alt,battery,water pump,timing belt,tensioners,pulleys and belts. I guess thats what happens when you buy a 97 with 1 owner at 51k..You get to replace all the parts

That does look pretty sexy .

WOW! I'm 2wanting a clear cover BAD now, those things look pimp. But where do i find a timing belt that color coordinates with my engine bay? I've seen the blue ones, even that would be fine for my setup. If i get the clear cover it looks like i'll have to get colorfull gears as well
