Default Small turbo model owners

Question regarding the rocker cover on the later models -

- Does this cover have the same stud pattern as the earlier heads so will bolt down?

- Is it possible to drill and add the oil breather return in the top of the cover and make it look neat?

- Are the plastic covers still available to buy either secondhand or new??

Many thanks lads

from what i was told by another member on here, you need to fill the 2 front holes either with weld or a cut off alloy bolt then drill and tap a new hole using the small turbo camcover or gasket as the template.

Hi there I'm new to this so sorry if it's all wrong but here goes I just bought a 1996 escort t25 but it's running marelli managment so it got a dizzy rather than coil packs it's only got the small turbo though other than that don't know what else been done but when boosting it pops and farts and looses power I thought it might have been fuel related but now I'm not so sure any ideaswould be great oh also I need some front wheel arch liners if anybody got some for sale
