Grrrr... Need timing cover
Does anyone know where I can find a chrome timing cover? I cannot seem to find them anywhere.
Thanks
Erik

Originals are an aluminum alloy and don't fare well in the chroming process.

You could always polish and clear coat the original timing cover. It would look like chrome

Stick with your factory cover. I have a chrome cover on my Vette and I have to locktite seals in otherwise they will blow out over time. Chrome is just too slick for a seal to stick very well especially in an engine that sees high RPM's. Deen
