B234F: timing covers and belts question 900 1992

940 GLE 1992 (canadian) B234F 16v

My lower left-half timing belt cover is broken (at one corner where it is bolted). This likely happened last year when the oil pump pulley flew off, you know...)

I want to change this part of the cover, thinking maybe with vibration it can lift off and expose an entrance for a small rock or debris... don't want another head rebuild.

FCP Groton does not sell timing belt covers for this car. Is there anywhere I can get it other than the dealer?

Other question: Does nyone know the size of the A/C belt? Last I looked I think this car has two for A/C (one for PS off A/C and one for alt).
Please confirm if therre are two for A/C, and is the fcp groton listed size of 13x1188 correct?

Thanks,
Greg

    Usually any time you find a 16-valve car in the junkyard, it's because the belts broke and crashed the head. That normally leaves the rest of the engine undamaged. I would think a couple of calls to the junkyards would yield an intact timing cover for just a few bucks.
    Good luck!

    Try the usual recycling yards (formerly known as salvage or junk yards). I've had good success with the Sweden Auto Salvage guys in California, Sacramento, I think. Also remember that just because I had good luck with them doesn't mean you will. The other option is a new one from the dealer ($$$).
