Inner timing case on GSi engne...

[NovaBoi92]

Is it needed? the 1.6 engine i have, the inner timing case is all snapped. So is it actually needed or can i just do without it?

Do you mean the black plastic cam belt cover?

[AndrewJenkins]

you take a risc of something jumping up being flicked under the cambelt and jumping teeth its unlikely but still possible

[vauxluva]

Unlikely but my alarm broke loose from its clamp and dusted mine pretty good ! 2 valves later..........she is good

totally honest id say yes its needed, i wish i had one on my fan belt too, just had to re construct my loom near the headlight
cheers to danny s p

thanks for the replies. Do any of you know if it is the same as the 1.2 carb? i dont think it is, but im pretty sure the 1.2 spi is the same?

[vauxluva]

I believe the mk1 is round on top were the cam pulley is and mk 2 items are square ,but both fit fine hope this helps

[NovaBoi92]

so either one will fit onto the gsi engine? regardless of if its a mk1/carb/singlepoint etc ?

[vauxluva]

Yes Novaboi92,should fit fine.
