One more "jury rig"

When I had my timing belt cover off, I decided to put this little viewing window on it so I could admire the belt going round and round. Like for when we have a power failure and I can't watch TV. The first plastic I used couldn't take the heat, the second kind I tried has been good. Kinda useless, but I like it. Just used that metal tape stuff to put it on, and then a little silicone. Really could have used a new cover anyhow, but I couldn't get one quickly so made the old one work. Tracka96

Gotta admit I can relate to your window-I always liked taking off the oil fill cap on OHC motors to watch the oil thrown around and the valve train operate, especially on the old Mercedes 4 and 6 cyls.

that's an upgrade.
it's great.

I think the plastic LExan can be formed to do that. hummmm , with a heat gun.

happy kick'n
