I am in search of a timing cover.

The cool aluminum one I got will not work. The oil pan will not seat on the block with this one.

I've noticed most timing cover listings mention they will not work with a 1 piece rear main seal block.

I have also noticed some of the stamped steel ones listed for one piece blocks say they will not clear a roller timing chain.


SO, I have a one piece rear main seal block, and a roller timing chain.

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Why not use stock L98 one?

 

I don't have one.

 

Got an email from Canton, they sell one that works with the 1 piece rear main blocks.

Got it on the way.

 

Got the canton cover installed, but the lip on my one piece oil pan gasket still seems too thick.

The gasket came in a fel pro 2664 kit which is supposed to be for a 1988 corvette.

Guess I'll go to the local parts store and compare different pan gaskets.
