Really?...... hmmmm I have a 94 and was planning on upgrading this relatively soon..... so do they sell an aftermarket cover or do i go the gmpartsdirect route for a 95-97 stocker?
Well I've never done it but I was just passing along information I had learned before. I'm *pretty sure* that's true, but you better talk to someone who has done the double roller on a 93 or 94. As far as I know, the double roller chain will only work on the later model cover and that means--you guessed it--also a vented opti. When I bought some stuff for my car, I was still really new to this and I bought a Cloyes double roller that was in a kit with a later model timing cover but I had the older opti so I just sent it back. That's why I think that is accurate, the pieces in the kit.
