In the attached picture it looks like I'm missing a low timing cover should there be one there? If so does anyone have one going?

 

It's a 1990 xu5ja

yup sure should be one there, inner cover looks to be present, is that in good condition?

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

Yeah that's fine, I have one I think that goes behind the crank pulley, just missing that lower one now if anyone has a spare one let me know

[welshpug 1,666]

the one behind the crank pulley is the lower cover.

Thats pretty good, You'll be lucky to find a better one unless new

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

Really?!?

They all fall apart with heat and rubbing I'm afraid

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

Any idea on the prices of them new?

No longer available last time I checked.

No lower covers are available I had to search.

Well I'm going to try and fit it later on and see how I get on with it and how much protection it offers

[welshpug 1,666]

I'm tempted to make one from some steel.

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

If it rubs though isn't that gonna make an awful noise and get hot

[welshpug 1,666]

same as a plastic one would!

I started drawing this cover to make them in 0.6mm stainless, it is quite a complicated thing though so I didn't pursue it that far as I think the cost would mean folk would not buy it.

I would be interested as one cover is not even available in dealer stock.
