Homemade cover

[bcjjones]

My timing belt cover just fell to pieces when I took it off. I know I need one and it seems pretty vital to? Anyone ever make one?

IT would be a pain in the ass to make one. I would just pick up a good used one.

Yea I've been looking around, just can't find one anywhere.

I mean it wouldn't have to necessarily look factory, or anything close. Just something to protect the belts. Figured someone has made something. I just can't find one anywhere

Are we talking about the upper or lower?

Classifieds and Want-to-buy sections are your friends.

Don't forget the part-out section! They always have them. Top or bottom covers. Ebay's dec too.

Sorry, was talking about the bottom. Thanks for all the input tho, ill look into ordering one.

Don't wanna start a new thread on this basic timing question. So, my camshaft gears never line up correctly, they are one tooth off. I just put a rebuilt head on it and its still the same, one tooth off. Anyone have this problem? No matter how many times I turn it over the exhaust timing mark is off one tooth?

Also another basic question. When setting the crankshaft timing on the mark, after the belt iscover on, one full rotation from that will put the number one cylinder TDC on the exhaust stroke correct? And then another full turn should again put the number one cylinder at TDC back on the compression stroke? Or is that not how it works?
