the lower cover is still on there… but since the 6 bolt is 1 piece, and i have a 2g motor mount for the 6 bolt swap, i hacked it to make it fit. and after many times of pulling shit on/off it cracked pretty good, so i jsut cut it at the motor mount. so for the most part the timing belt is still prtected at the bottom.
oh well thats a LOT better then none at all. It’s tough to see in the pictures. I’m sure you know all about the important stuff that lurks down on that side of the motor.
