Please post pics of 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder cam covers that look like S20

[Hunter]

I have been thinking about the cam cover for my future project of a webber powered RB20/25.

 

Would you be able to post pictures of any cam covers that look like the the S20 motor in the picture below? Does not matter if it is four cylinder or 6. If they are four cylinder covers I will buy two and weld together.

 

The cover is just going to float over the existing RB cover and be mounted with tabs. so the cover is purely cosmetic and will have no mechanical use at all on the engine.

 

Diemensions could be useful too if you can supply them

Hey Mate,

 

Though of this the other day after all of the convos...FJ20

cheers mate, I was thinking FJ20, looks a pretty close match. My mate used to have one in a 1200.

There are three types

 

1 vent, low flat top = NA FJ20e

2 vents, high flat top = FJ20et from dr30

2 vents, high top with recessed oil cap = s12 FJ20et & FJ20e

One half is a six cylinder....

Here is a thought - just get a S20 cover.

 

Here a pic of early RB20 redtop covers with a different look

Damn I was just about to say that

Yes red top RB covers would be the easiest to have a sim look. Those blue ones are listed on trademe currently guy is looking for $275 NZD aka funny money.

 

Also Ben I have sent that request through now

Early SR20 cover parts of this might work.

 

Also here is a link to a large pic of the S20 engine might help with looking at the cover design

BMW unit could look good?

A small 3rd world country could be supported on the cost of a genuine s20 cover

 

The RB20 covers look ok, but i prefer the fJ20 look

 

[ScottyB]

if it will be RB powered, wouldn;t it make sense to not have a floating cover - but to use something like that RB20 modified cover, better yet - modify a 20 cover to look how you want it to look?

scotty not sure if you have read the thread above, I want an S20 look alike on a budget.

 

I am still sold on welding two FJ20 skyline D30 covers together to create a similar cover to the S20,

Aluminium plates will be welded on top to either side of the welded together FJ20 covers then machined to match the S20 cover, depending on cost

 

might be cheaper for S20 covers if i went the way above, but i can get heaps of stuff done at mates rates

 

but RB20 covers could maybe be modified more easily as a floating cover, but mounted flat instead of angled like on the RB, with a piece out front
