Pinto cam cover
Andy D - 30/8/11 at 06:36 PM

Anyone got a 2lt Pinto cam cover going spare? Preferably the later one, I think they had a wider gasket fitted to them?? I'm in the North East for pick up.. Would prefer an unmodified one, but would consider anything.

I've never seen any variation in the cover on any of the pinto's I've had or worked on

The later ones have a wider edge to fit a bigger gasket. IIRC it helps sstops oil leakage.

I have one going spare; it is a later one from 1989, the oil filler pipe has been cut down by 5mm or so to improve bonnet clearance, but this has no negative effect as the cap does not protrude below the bottom of the tube.

I'm in Bristol so collection is unlikely, but I'll post by any means you like for cost + £2.09 (or 1 bottle of Gem from Sainsburys).
