August 25, 200718 yr 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.

August 25, 200718 yr Author 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.
August 25, 200718 yr Sounds like a good idea for an aquarium. Of course, you shouldn't run it when it's full of water and fish.
August 25, 200718 yr Author 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.

Packed snow can do this, along with sticks and stones ... they arent just for bones anymore. nipper
