What's the difference? - Silver/Black Timing belt cover?


Recommended Posts

Whilst I was searching for engines I came across two varieties of engines those with a black timing belt cover and those with a silver one?

I could never identify a difference? Is there one?

timing belt cover you mean?

the silver one is the earlier FTE engine with thicker rods, common myth that they are stronger...it has been proved they are both of the same strength

Yeah timing belt, my bad!

Ok well I've bought an engine with a silver cover.. Hopefully it'll be as good as a black one even those she's slightly older! Haha
