timing belt cover

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Yeah, it's a 6mm allen. You need to remove the upper cover before the lower.
This isn't that big of a deal.
Just for reference the bottom cover is frequently all effed up. It's $6.16

> Blech, I hate allen keys. Not to mention the bunch of crud packed into
that hole. And the lower cover looks like the upper would have to be removed
before the lower to get at it, but I could be wrong. This is an 84 8v by the
way. I'm trying to see if I have oil splattered around on the inside of the
cover.
