Re: Timeing belt cover *opinions*

[kdbinney@juno.com (Kyle D Binney)]

I took mine off and love it.  it makes everything in that region lots
easier.  Most of my friends have followed and done the same.  if i had a
16v i wouldnt consider it because of the job a broken belt causes but in
an 8v its nothing. never had a problem, and the belt still looks fine.
