There are two types of cover, one with a thin rim/lip and one with a wider rim/lip, just make sure you have a wide one
Cheers

What year were the wide lip covers fitted to Capri's?
I guess narrow lip and wide lip covers fit all 1.6 and 2.0 ltr pintos?

According to Haynes the wide lip was fitted from 1983 onwards and thin lip before that.
If you have a wide lip on your head you have to get a wide lip rocker cover, if you have a thin lip currently you can get either, but wide lip would be better as it has a better chance of preventing oil leaks.
