Default I saw this YB cam cover once...

I searched my internet history. No luck. searched the cam cover threads here. No luck. Damnit.

I saw this YB cam cover once that was white on the outside and had gray and/or black on the inner bits/lettering and it looked so fresh. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd love to find that picture again and paint mine as such. Help?

Thanks in advance.

Well yes that was sort of implied since YB covers only came in one colour.

It was definitely not a late escos engine.

No they never came in any colour combo in Canada. They are all imported after 15 years old.

I mean "one colour" as in there was one colour on the cam cover. So no one has seen this cam cover that had 3 colours on it then? Well I'll just paint it myself and hope the combination I saw is the same as I do it.

White on the outside perimeter. Gray in the "tray" in the middle where the leads are and then black lettering and black "stripe" between tray and perimeter. Or something like that. I can't recall if the top perimeter was left bare machined like stock. but it looked excellent and I am upset I didn't save a picture of it.

That does help Graceland. I seem to think it was a scandinavian car but I'm not sure. I'm gonna dig some more.
