I'm using it but it is a huge pain in the a$$. When you go to pull the front cover off you usually ruin the seal between the back cover and the block. There is no positive locking between the back cover and the block. Stupid design. I wish I would have just saved the money from this and got a $$$$$ comp cams 3-piece billet cover.

I bought it but when I put it on I had a big like 1/16-1/8 gap at the bottom so off it came and now collects dust on a shelf.I heard that if you put bolts in and drill 3 holes and tap them(#10 fine thread) along the bottom it will not leak. Good luck!

I have it and I don't use the standard gaskets. I use the same sealent on it as the valley area of the intake mainfold. And over tighten the covers bolts.

I used one and it leaked, I silicolned the front to fix it now there is no more leak. I like it because if I ever decide to change the cam all I have to do is:
  • pull off the valve covers
  • pull off the rockers studs, guideplates, and pushrods
  • lift the aftermarket crane hydraulic roller lifter pairs up out of thier holes all the way with my little grabber tools through the big rectangle pushrod access holes
  • pull off the waterpump and balancer
  • undo the cover, and pull the three timing gear bolts to remove the upper gear from the cam and chain
  • slide the cam out and reverse the process
  • no super ram intake removal required (thank dog)
