Hello DSMTuner brethren,
I need some advise regard a 4GCS 6 bolt swap in my 92 1G AWD Laser, it seems neither the Upper Cover (holes don't line up) nor the lower cover (it doesn't fit at all really, a few holes line up but its a very tight fit) can be used, am I incorrect in that assumption (e.g is there some type of modification that needs to be made to both)?? We are using the Cam gears out of 94 Galant and the proper G4CS Timing Belt in relation to the swap, which is supposedly the correct procedure.
Not running an upper cover doesn't worry me much as I have seen many people who have done so, but not running a lower timing cover does not seem like a smart thing to do, nor is it something I really want to do at the end of the day..
Does anyone who has done or been exposed to this swap have any advice on how to overcome this hurdle? This swap has over $10k into it with brand new everything so I really don't feel like worrying about if a rock or some other foreign entity shreds my timing belt and destroys my new head.
Appreciate the time and input!!
