Right, having now finished my rebuild i decided to leave the top timing cover off to show my nice new greddy timing belt :gay: . So far i have had mixed views, some say its an accident waiting to happen incase any thing finds its way into the belt area. Others say it will be fine. I have seen loads of the rb26's with the adjustable pullys without the top covers fitted, which seem to be trouble free. I have thought about the clear top cover but wondered how difficult it is to mod to fit the rb25's. I wanted to see if any of you guys or, girls have done the same, did it end in tears?? or was all well. What would you do?

I think the clear cam cover is the way to go, it's just asking for a stone to get caught between the belt and gears and bye bye engine.

I found this pic, I think it looks very good with the clear cover modified.

everything going back together ok?

Mine too, took her for a good cruise today (140 miles) feels strong now after all the work, I too have clutch/gearbox problems, so I will be changing my box this weekend, yet another 10 hours on my back covered in dirt :shakehead:

Oh and that original thread is here http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65589

Clear cam cover from nengun I think...

Anyone know if there's any companies that do the plastic 26 pulley covers without any text on them? I want to stick one on my 20 so I can paint it along with the plug cover, and have the cam covers polished. If I keep the original 20 cover, it'll look a bit manky, not a fan of it.

I would go with a cam cover as a lot of water etc will go in through your grill and on the belt/pullies
