porcupine73 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi. Anyone ever seen clear timing belt covers for Subaru? I was looking through Sport Compact Car and there was a T*y*ta with clear timing covers and it looked pretty neat. Plus it's functional. Of course they had these nice purple cam sprockets, etc. Or zzz cut out the front of the oem black plastic timing belt cover and rtv some Lexan on there!

Being constantly watched might incite those idle pulleys to work a little harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 They may be too brittle for real world driving. They may look cool, but the extra expense aint really worth it. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 mm...the real world, right...often tend to forget about that. The inside would probably get coated with a thin film of oil from the cam or crank seal leaks and the outside would get dirty as well...would need some little windshield wipers inside perhaps.

ron917 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Sounds like a good idea for an aquarium. Of course, you shouldn't run it when it's full of water and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 i run with no covers...at all....perty clear!Ok yes I guess that would be easy to see! Hm...what is the main purpose of the covers anyway? Is it to protect the belt from water, dirt, etc. Or it is for safety so cats and woodchucks don't get caught in it? I have a badger or woodchuck that's been living under my '94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps anything with mass from getting caught in the belts and driving the belts off the pullies. Packed snow can do this, along with sticks and stones ... they arent just for bones anymore. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
