Timing Chain Cover

On my car I have a double roller timing chain and I was wondering if you can just use the OEM timing chain cover or have to use a special one. I'm not exactly sure! Someone please help!

Stock one should be A-OK. Sometimes with a double chain you need to clearance the top edge of the center oil galley so there's no contact.

Thank I appreciate your response. I got ahold of my ex this morning to make sure and he said the same thing.
