Title: 1200 Timing cover
Post by: VMS Motorsports on November 21, 2007, 11:34:38 am

Heres the one part nobody around here is able to find, a timing cover for the 1200. Im told its the same for an 1100 and a 1250 also.  I know alot of you asphalt guys take yours off, but we need 'em in the dirt and alot of guys are experimenting with holes and screens in the covers for a little extra air flow, I just dont want to chop mine up without a backup for when I destroy it!

I've seen a few on eBay in the past few weeks. Maybe contact Tim (xtime). He seems to have a line on a lot of parts.

It was sent today.  If I did it right, you should get a ship notification from the post office via email.

Thanks,
Tom

Is this done to vent it (like the vents on a valve cover) or is it for cooling?  Anyone know where I can find an exploded view of a 1200 on the net?  Just trying to get up to speed on the specifics of the motors.

Just for cooling, FYI,  they are not the same. The one I just got does not go with my engine...I've got a 1200, so I guess the 1250 is not the same...oh well, another thing to put on eBay :)

1100 and 1200 are the same, I thought that the 1250 was the same as well. HMMMM.

VMS I spoke with my boss today, I said that the 1200 and the 1250 are the same, the only difference in the 12000 and 1250 is the rods and the pistons, maybe you have an 1099??  Any way we have a 1200 at the shop he wants 20 bucks and you pay shipping, let me know.

The plot thickens....I talked to my engine builder who is also a Legends dealer, and he said I have a 1200. The one I bought on the forum was from a 1250....Oh well, I guess I wont worry about it, I have enough other stuff to do.

Post by: qweedqwag on January 17, 2008, 11:14:49 pm

VMS,

We have one at the shop from a blown up 1200 the cover is in great shape, the boss wants 20.00 and you pay shipping,

Mike.

Let me see a picture when you get a chance. I dont need another one that wont work, and since you said that the 1200 and 1250 are the same...I dunno.  The managing partner of my race team (i.e. my lovely, yet frugal wife) has imposed a moratorium on buying unnecessary racing parts until I get a paycheck...crazy broad, she's just mad that I keep ordering vinyl for the plotter, she doesnt understand that I may need all 20 colors. Anyway, post a picture so I know its right, and I may be able to sell my last few cases of ramen noodles to come up with the cash  ;D

All of the ignition covers are the same.

The 1250 cover uses a thicker rubber gasket and longer screws. This thicker gasket/longer screws are need for the XJ pick-up coil. The FJ pick-up coil is a low profile fully cover unit.

The FJ Pickup coil is mounted on a gold plate and the XJ pickup coil plate is silver. I have both gaskets available if you need one or the other. 

But long story short, the covers are all the same; the gasket & bolts are different.
