cam gear question-prolly a stupid one!

[bchumley]

I think the answer to my question is no, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so here it goes.

Is it possible to cut the SR20DET valve cover to expose the cam gears for adjustment purposes? I see this on several cars, but have never seen it on the SR20.

No.

Oil will spray everywhere.

You typically see that on cars with timing BELTS...i.e., no lubrication required.

the open valve cover is only on belt drive cars likes hondas, supras, mr2 etc sr20s are pimp motors and therefore require chains , but if you want to get dirty just run it with no valve cover,its the same as cutting your valve cover and you make sure everything is workin lol
