Hi All,
Pretty basic question but I wanted to know if the Red 202 and the Blue 3.3 timing covers are the same, I had been told that the blues are different and leak less? but not to sure so thought I would ask the experts.
Also has anyone heard anything about ROMAC harmonic Balancers? Are they good quality?, useful?, better than original stuff?,worth the money asked? etc any help would be appreciated
