Is anyone running without one of these?
This is a plastic part that runs at the bottom of the timing belt path.
 Can it be omitted like the belt covers? Last edited by bedinator; 06-04-2009 at 08:20 AM.. Reason: broken image |

Nope, mine is still there. It probably protects the belt in some way.

It was omitted in later cars and is only found in the early cars ( up to 83 I believe). I asked about it when I did my TB job on my 82 since one of the bolt "ears" was broken off. I was told by someone knowledgeable that it wasn't entirely necessary.

It has something to do with the tracking of the belt if I'm remembering correctly. I would go search for that thread but the Rennlist search is useless these days. Sorry
