Chevy Small Block / GM 90° V6 Polished Aluminum 1-Piece Timing Cover w/ Gasket, Crank Seal & Hardware

• 1-piece aluminum cover seals the timing chain area, stops leaks

• Includes "half" timing cover gasket, water pump gasket set, crank seal & bolts

• Fits Chevy SB V8 Gen I (262-400 CID) and GM 90° V6 4.3L

• Requires long water pump — confirm cam clearance & oil pan type

This 1-piece polished aluminum timing cover is built to replace a cracked, warped, or leaking factory timing cover on Chevy Small Block Gen I V8 engines and the GM 90° V6 4.3L (262 CID). The 1-piece design seals the timing chain area while giving the front of the engine a clean, finished appearance.

This kit includes a "half" timing cover gasket, water pump gasket set, crankshaft seal, and a bolt & washer set — a complete package for installation without sourcing those parts separately. This cover is built for long water pump applications only, and will not fit V6 engines equipped with a balance shaft. A thin front seal is required when used with some cast aluminum oil pans, and this cover may not fit as-is with cam button or roller camshafts — verify clearance before installation.

Applications
Fits Chevrolet Small Block V8 Gen I engines: 4.3L/262, 4.3L/265, 4.4L/267, 4.6L/283, 4.9L/302, 5.0L/305, 5.0L/307, 5.4L/327, 5.7L/350, and 6.6L/400 CID. Also fits GM 90° V6 4.3L/262 CID applications, except V6 engines equipped with a balance shaft. Long water pump configuration only. Common vehicle applications include Chevrolet Camaro/Nova/Chevelle, Chevrolet C10/C-K truck, Chevrolet Corvette/Monte Carlo/Impala, and other GM 90° V6-equipped applications where compatible.

Installation
Includes a "half" timing cover gasket, water pump gasket set, crankshaft seal, and bolt & washer set. A thin front seal is required with some cast aluminum oil pans. May not fit as-is with cam button or roller camshafts — verify clearance. Verify timing cover style, balancer clearance, and sensor provisions before installation.

What's included in this timing cover kit?

Does this fit a short or long water pump small block Chevy?

Do I need a special seal if I have a cast aluminum oil pan?
