Okay I am missing my upper intake timing cover but when I went to look for parts it appears its divided into sections? I just got this car and it came without it so I am unaware of what it looks like. Here is my parts list and a picture of the engine, let me know if I left anything out please...

and there are four prices because these parts were in a table. the fourth price is the cost I will pay. also if your wondering its a 92 eclipse GSX built in Feb. 92.
(PS I noticed when searching for parts there is a pretty big price difference in eclipses built to 4/92 and eclipses after 5/92 whats the big diff?

I am working alot of hours and I dont have time to go to the junkyard and I dont want to wait until I do have time for this since its kind of critical that I have it. So thanks but junkyard is out of the question im ordering new parts.
 
whoa I have never seen the top piece divided into 4 sections. To me it just looks like you need the top piece. The big difference between these years is the early date and before has the 6 bolt motor and the later date and after has the 7 bolt motor.
 
well the top apparently just doesnt come in one big piece. the inner side (side facing the engine) is split in two and the outer side (facing the wheel) is one piece and then the gasket is split up as well. If I am wrong someone who knows please let me know I would like to order these parts tonight before I crash out got to work early tomorrow. Thanks again if you guys are able to help me out.

I would have to say it is this 1
 
well yeah thats the piece facing the wheel and then there is an inside half facing the engine correct?

I started out with just that piece and I got to looking at the parts list and thought maybe its not all just one piece? Need to know for sure.
 
Ok, is this what you are talking about?

Just make sure nothing ever fall in there. :sneaky: Yes, it's best that you leave the cover on.
