Vtr Rocker cover colour

[Fozzytm]

I have been lookin round the various saxo sites and on ebay, and every now and again keep seeing references to different coloured rocker covers .. as tho there is a difference in engine .. is there a difference??

blacktop- early vtr's, the cat is under the car, it has non-roller rockers and single plug ecu
early silvertops- cat under the car but has roller rockers and 3 plug ecu
late silvertops- cat in manifold, roller rockers and 3 plug ecu

Nice one.. am i to assume the engine with roller rockers is a better engine?? sorry for the dim view but this is the first non ford car i've owned...

[Sean]

well the silvertop with cat in manifold has 98bhp as opposed to the blacktop's 90, but there's little difference on the road to be honest.
