today i took off most of the stuff in the way so i can degrease and paint the block. im thinking red. heres the before pics hopefully by next Wednesday ill have the after photos. Also if anyone needs an aluminum valve cover i have an extra one with no oil cap. i got the plastic one off of ebay for 20 bucks. i also accidentally broke what i assume is the oil pressure sensor. i ripped the wire off but i can solder it back no prob.

What is the advantage to having the plastic valve cover? Is it better than the aluminium?

keep the aluminium valve cover it may be harder to set up the pcv but you could polish it up to a mirror finish and that would be dam cool

Great tires on nice rims! About pcv: He doesn't mean the rubber pipes/hoses but the plastic by-pass valve between them itself, from the valve cover to the air cleaner or intake manifold. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pcv_valve With time the check inside them get clogged with dirty oil, preventing the engine to breath, and pressure starts building inside the engine. The pressure looks for a way out and normally it comes out by the valve cover gasket, making an oil leak there. Some people just deletes them so there are justy's without them.

From what I heard, water gets into it and you are screwed.

It's a good idea to keep it in place just in case something could be thrown up and interfere with the belt. Maybe you've plenty of under-carraige and there is no chance of it... I'm not sure about the water..might not be too good for the belt.. Although it has teeth and ought to be taught. Anyone KNOW about this? The belts life will be decreased by oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, water..et cetera..??...

hmm, well im not worried about something flying up into the belt. the water could possibly be an issue. Where are our knowledgeable moderators? Any thoughts?

I recently installed a new timing belt and the packaging read very clearly to wipe any oil etc. off the belt immediately if any does touch it during the install.
My old man told me that that was rubbish. I was careful anyway.

lol i saw the color and i just had to do it. I've come up with a pretty ridiculous idea, i saw these on ebay... It says "The RHB31 is the world’s smallest turbocharger. Originally manufactured for the Suzuki 660 Motorcycle in Asian Markets, the RHB31 is now the favorite of off road enthusiast. The RHB31 is well suited for people building custom turbo applications for Motorcycles, Rhinos, Polaris RZR, ATV’s, Snowmobiles, and Jet Ski’s. The RHB31 has excellent spooling capabilities with engine displacements ranging from 190 cc to 900 cc and able to produce up to an addition 125 hp. The RHB31 can safely handle up to 1 bar of pressure (14.5psi).The center section or bearing housing on this turbo is Multi position; meaning that you can loosen the clamp bolts and rotate everything to suit your needs. It also can be cooled by water or oil, making this turbo very versatile. The two float bearings provide for a quicker spooling time and a longer life for the turbo." Im thinking of maybe making a triple turbo manifold running one of these per cylinder. Is this way to far fetched?

Then you should also use 3 motorcycle carbs, one per cylinder

I'm not to sure about this particular car as far as your TIMING belt goes, but I ran an open motor on a bug for 2 years in the rain, snow, spitting oil, hot hot sun, and in mud. I threw one belt in 2 years, and that was when I caught it on a branch.

Wow for the first time ever, someone wants to use a turbocharger on a Justy that's too small!

but wouldnt using 3 make up for the lack of size?

The turbo is far too small, and to install 3 would be a nightmare. Not to mention that they would all need oil, so you would be dropping your oil pressure, and taxing your oil system.
