Hello this might be a amateur question. I know the difference in the oil pans are 14 bolt and 20 bolt but what about the timing covers do they interchange can I use a 87 cover on a 84?
You can put a late 85-87 cover on an earlier engine but the 2 front bolts that hold the pan on will need to be drilled and tapped. You can't put the older on the newer though.
Looks like its going to be a struggle to find the right one I called autozone and they're listing one cover for 84-87 cars. Really appreciate all the info thanks.
If that's a Pioneer 500231, that should be the "dual pattern" cover I was talking about. It certainly was six years ago .... but it was at another store, and was about $50 cheaper then.
Believe it or not, the 14-bolt Dorman seems to have disappeared from the Autozone website just in the last few days, since I posted Wed. Are they that desperate to sell you the (more expensive) Pioneer .... ?
