Anyone know if the newer engine cover can be put on a 95? Modding it is not a big deal just curious if anyone has tried to fit one on. I like the look of the newer engine cover.

I suppose anything's possible with a lil imagination and creativity. The '95 has 2 or 3 covers doesn't it? And if I'm not mistaken it snaps to the fuel rail? The Series II cover "locks" into a bracket and gets held down by a nut/stud on top of the S/C. Again, with a lil creativity I'm sure it can be done.

Externally they are same engines correct? oil fill area should be the same? any size differences between the supercharger?

m62(series one) is much smaller than the m90. The engine cover for the series one does clip to the fuel rail, and has the little wire hider near the snout. The series one SC also has the alternator bracket built into a bolt on the SC snout.(might be in the way for a S2 engine cover) The hold down thread for the engine cover would not be present or in the right place on the series one to take the series 2 engine cover. So some fiddling would need to be done. It it were me, just leave all covers off and show off the supercharger.

oh, and the series one is a taller deck, so the distance between the heads is a little bigger by an inch and a half or so. You will find the oil filler neck in a slightly different height and angle.

Yeah, and the S/C is quite a bit smaller than a Series II (hence M62 and M90).

EDIT: I have no idea why I posted this. Apparently I "scanned" Karma's post without reading thoroughly. This is what sheer boredom at work does to a man I suppose.

Blower snouts are different sizes, I think. But the series II cover is a very loose fit. Could probably use a Dremel tool to remove plastic from areas that interfere. Maybe need to drill holes and zip tie in a couple points.

I imagine a support could be made out of stainless steel wire and some washers and nuts and a center bolt brazed on. Idea is a wire support to bolt onto the engine (under valve cover bolts or some such) that in turn you set the cover over and cinch down with a nut like OE.

That said - the SC snout and the oil filler are not going to line up neatly.

I doubt I'd do this.

PS to AA: How about the term 'hobbyist' instead of 'addict' for the appellation for my class of list member?

I'm sure lots of addicts and junkies would rather be considered "hobbyists". wink

DIfference is if problems arise. Let's call this an interest, and put "out there' whether it's a hobby or an addiction::

...when you hide new purchases, lie about how much stuff costs, and find that everything you do revolves around the activity in some fashion to the exclusion of doing other stuff with people outside of the interest, the interest has become an addiction.

...when the interest is illegal (because continued participation puts you at risk to defaulting on your promises to family when you are caught, among other problems) the interest is an addiction.

...specifically in the case of on-line stuff, when the interest in the online world becomes so great that the real world responsibilities are neglected.

The Riviera isn't going to run forever - but while I am keeping it running this hobby, call it an addiction if you wish, is keeping me in a much more roadworthy vehicle than could otherwise be afforded on the equivalent cash outlay. And at some point (foreseeable future) I'll sell it for a reasonable $$ to another hobbyist It is not very taxing at all to open a window on this editboard and comment on stuff as I deal with the priorities of the day (today - writing bills for my consulting and reading up on salesforce.com)

Your further comments?

Our rank titles aren't meant to be interpreted literally; they are loose hyperboles. I was hoping some would find humor the use of metaphor.

No one's trying to imply that having over 1000 posts means a "fanatic" is really an obsessed Riv-owning zealot (may need to re-think that one) any more so than having 2000 posts means you are actually addicted to Rivieras to the point of neglecting life's responsibilities.

The rank titles are just supporting the ridiculous idea that quantity of postings in web forums makes us superior to everyone else. In contrast, the integrity scores are a much more reliable indicator of who's who around here, imo. Post counts are too ambiguous to be taken seriously.

PS - I do like the term "hobbyist", and I think it would fit in well between the ranks "member" and "enthusiast". Thanks for the tip.
