Description
This one-piece black aluminum timing cover is built to replace a cracked, warped, or leaking factory timing cover on GM LS2 (6.0L/364) and LS3 (6.2L/376) engines. The one-piece design seals the timing chain area while giving the front of the engine a clean, finished appearance.
This cover includes a built-in turbo oil drain return, simplifying oil return routing on turbocharged LS builds without adding a separate fitting or modification. It also includes a camshaft position sensor provision and mounting hardware. Gasket, crankshaft seal, sensor harness, and timing pointer are not included — plan to source those separately. Confirm timing cover style, balancer clearance, and sensor provisions before installation.
Applications
Fits GM LS2 and LS3 engines: 6.0L/364 in³ (LS2) and 6.2L/376 in³ (LS3). Common applications include Chevrolet Corvette (2005-2007 LS2, 2008-2013 LS3), Chevrolet Camaro (2010-2015 LS3), Pontiac GTO (2005-2006 LS2), Chevrolet Trailblazer SS (2006-2009 LS2), and LS2/LS3 swap builds — including turbocharged applications.
Installation
One-piece configuration, 8 mounting holes. Includes built-in turbo oil drain return, camshaft position sensor provision, and mounting hardware. Gasket, crankshaft seal, sensor harness, and timing pointer are not included. Verify timing cover style, balancer clearance, and sensor provisions before installation.

Q&A
What does the "turbo oil drain return" feature do?
It's a built-in oil return passage designed to simplify oil routing on turbocharged LS builds, so you don't need to add a separate fitting or modify the cover for turbo oil return plumbing.
Do I need this cover if I'm not running a turbo?
No — if your build is naturally aspirated, TSP's standard LS2/LS3 timing covers (without the turbo oil drain return) may be a better fit.
What's included with this timing cover?
Built-in turbo oil drain return, camshaft position sensor provision, and mounting hardware. Gasket, crankshaft seal, sensor harness, and timing pointer are not included.
What engines does this fit?
GM LS2 (6.0L/364) and LS3 (6.2L/376).
What vehicles use the LS2/LS3?
Chevrolet Corvette (2005-2007 LS2, 2008-2013 LS3), Chevrolet Camaro (2010-2015 LS3), Pontiac GTO (2005-2006 LS2), and Chevrolet Trailblazer SS (2006-2009 LS2).
