Timing Cover - EXTRA THICK - With Cam Button Reinforcement

Our new line of EXTRA THICK oil pans was such a success, we decided to offer timing covers as well. This cover is an exact reproduction of Chrysler part number 2658454, which was used on all big block engines from 1966-72, making it the desired cover for nearly all muscle car applications. And since all big block timing covers are interchangable, it will fit any big block of any year.

However, with this version, we welded on an additional triangular REINFORCEMENT PLATE (also made from the same .083" thick steel) with SIX heavy duty spot welds. The purpose of this is to strengthen the cover for all ROLLER CAM applications which use a cam button that puts extra pressure against this area of the cover.

We have made these directly from the original Chrysler OEM drawings, ensuring they are 100% accurate in every way. These include the original welded on timing tab with timing marks in 5 degree increments, so there is no need to purchase an additional tab like there is with the aftermarket covers. But, more importantly, we stamp these from our EXTRA THICK steel. Factory Chrysler timing covers, and the "made in Taiwan" reproductions on the market are usually made out of steel which is about .049" thick. We've reproduced these in our EXTRA THICK steel, which is about .083" thick, or about 70% thicker than normal. The extra thickness not only helps to keep the cover more rigid to support the cam, but it also keeps the gasket rails straight and flat, and holds the seal straight and round, and exactly where it should be. These are supplied in a in a very nice black electroplated finish, the same process used in modern replacement body parts. Can be installed as-is or painted if desired. We guarantee these will be the strongest, heaviest, and nicest cover you've ever seen!
