timing belt cover

[matty]

so does nayone make a clear timing belt cover for the ca18det? i know trust makes em for the rb series,

i was trying to find one since i have a nice set of tomei cam pullys on the way.i dont wanna hide em behind the oem cover.

and when i remove the cam sensor, any tips or things to be aware of?

thanks guys

I have tomei cam gears as well, and feel the same way as you do about them. So I chopped the intake side of the cam cover off.....cant do this on the other side cause of the CAS.

What about getting one of those cas brackets from a RB motor.

[matty]

[matty]

does anyody knwo what the clear cam covers are made of?

is it some sort of high temp plastic?

[matty]

Sean's (NeedCAforS13) car:

I've seen RBs with a little bracket that mounts on the front and holds the CAS and nothing else. Don't know if it ould work for a CA though...or even who makes it...

[matty]

is seans just cut in that pic?

it doesnt look that bad.

anybody else have pics of a setup like this?

and a pic of this rb cas holding bracket?

[capowered240]

Here is the pic of the bracket. I think it will fit. I was thinking of getting one.

that was a full on cover at one point, just been chopped and massaged like I suggested.

**on second thought....??????

arent you guys worried about getting stuff behind the cover? i am not running my coilpack cover (misplaced the screws! kill me now!) and i have to shop vac out around the plugs before i can remove them because so much crap gets in there. i would be worried something would get around the crank gear and mess stuff up.

Hey, r34...shoot me your addy and I will send you my old coilpack cover screws if you want...

i would appreciate that so much. i swear i have no idea where they went. an unfortunate casualty from my most recent engine rebuild. ill shoot you an email here in a few.

I used to keep mine on there after going standalone, but I've still got that gaping hole in the front so I figured it was a waste of weight so I haven't had it on for a long time. I haven't had any problems with anything getting caught in there. I've scrapped my hand a couple of times, but that's just me being stuid.

Mine was cut...actually Sean cut mine. Before I sold the car.
