On the C and E type 1.4 engines are the rocker covers the same?

I ask as one is OHV and one is OHC can I put a OHV rocker cover on a OHC engine?

It has the Renault energy badge like mine it's the same shape, same holes, it looks the same as mine

Has the same breather things

It is from a phase one but the engine looked very similar to mine

If you look in the haynes manual then it is the same as the E type rocker cover, the one that I aquired today from the phase one 19 looks nothing like the engine in the C type section

thats because you have got an energy one not a c type one.

C and e type engines are as different as a jag V 12 and a lawnmower engine.
