If it's bad, you would get codes... I read somewhere that DelTeq was having issues with 94+ systems...

If you have the later, vented style, you need a '95-'97. I too have a used '94 that I have for sale cheap, but would send to you for shipping if it would help. But I don't think it's what you need.

Steve did you convert the timing cover when you had it torn down?The newer Optis have a disc instead of a spline like on my 93.92-94 were the spline shaft unvented 95-96 were disc shafts with the venting.Some people upgrade when they do the cam/timing chain upgrade but it requires changing the timing cover too.If you have a 95 opti you or someone must have done it.

Nope no problem all covers are interchangable between all years.I have a 93 opti with a 95 cap converted for venting out in the garage.So I guess you need a Gen II opti for your car which I do not have.
As far as "trouble" the only thing is to make sure the vent hoses are correct if not they will destroy the opti eventually.
Good luck
