Hi. I want to put a AEM adjustable timing gear on my car so I can adjust the timing for the nitrous. My question is does anyone know where I can buy a Gear cover with a hole in it so I can adjust it withthout taking off the cover or can the cover just be left off. I would rather have a cover. I saw one on a engine but I dont know if he made it or bought it...

 

I haven't seen an aftermarket valve cover like this but it shouldn't be too hard to modify one. Don't lose the whole cover though... Just enough to gain access to the bolts. There was a thread not too long ago on the same topic, and exposed cam gears pose a real danger to both the mechanic and the car (i.e. debris getting in the timing belt area).

 

I haven't had one on for years.... But if you want, just use a dremel and have fun making one...

 

i agree.. i dont even know where mine went...

 

There's people that take the OEM valve covers and use a laser to cut half circles out of the part of the valve cover that covers the cam gears. They're called moon cut valve covers or something like that. Search ebay to start, I know I've seen them there... I've also seen them on tuner sites too.

For the plastic cover that covers the side, just use a roto-zip or something, they come with a device that's like a compass and allows you to make perfect circles.
