Needing a timing cover for a 1.9 aaz in Vancouver b.c.  Any one know if a 1.6 will work? Anyone have a 1.9? Thanks

no it doesnt fit, Ive had both engines and tried fitting the timing belt cover from the 1.9 to the 1.6...no dice
Diesel, because real cars don't need spark plugs

I use the metal ones off early 1.6's, it takes a little 'tuning' as you need to weld a tab onto the center mount bracket and add a hole 16mm higher, then trim off some of the area on cover under the inj pump.  Then some creative hammering to open that area up a bit (directly under the IP)
