V Series GM Gen III 1-Piece Aluminum Timing Cover - Black

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

• Hardware included — gasket and crank seal not included, sold separately

• Fits GM Gen III LS: 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L (LS1/LS6), 6.0L, incl. 24x reluctor

• Black finish gives a clean, finished look at the front of the engine

This one-piece billet aluminum timing cover is built to replace a cracked, warped, or leaking factory timing cover on GM Gen III LS engines — 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L (LS1/LS6), and 6.0L, including 24x crank reluctor applications. The one-piece design seals the timing chain area while giving the front of the engine a clean, finished appearance in black aluminum.

Mounting hardware is included, but this cover does not include a gasket, crankshaft seal, or camshaft position sensor provision — plan to source those separately based on your engine's specific needs. It also does not include a timing pointer or sensor harness.

Before installing, verify your timing set and crank reluctor style match a 24x-reluctor Gen III LS application, and check balancer clearance and front accessory drive fitment against your specific engine build.

Applications
Fits GM Gen III LS Small Block V8 engines: 4.8L/294 in³ (LR4), 5.3L/325 in³ (LM7), 5.7L/346 in³ (LS1, LS6), and 6.0L/364 in³ (LQ4, LQ9), including 24x crank reluctor applications. Common vehicle applications include Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Camaro/Corvette (LS1/LS6), Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon, and Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am/GTO.

Installation
One-piece configuration with mounting hardware included (8 mounting holes). Gasket, crankshaft seal, camshaft position sensor provision, sensor harness, and timing pointer are not included — source these separately based on your engine's needs. Confirm timing set, crank reluctor style, balancer clearance, and front accessory drive compatibility before installing.
