Re: newbie! but only to this forum
std 8 valve doesnt need belt covers just extra weight les u see the water pump and oil pump and belt condition with the added bonus of no valve interference if a stone does make its way in there
wouldnt run no coversd on a valver

i put repair sections on it and a quick skin of bondo on but thats it my mate is a painter and hes going to finish the arches then its gettin painted and the paint on the manifold and rocker cover is just high temp matt black not advisible on a rocker cover coz oil sofens it up even with a etch primer but all in all the motor looked good and made 131 ponys on the rollers !result! only work done was head work and balanced pistons rods and flywheel it ran a std cam and exhaust manifold too
