SBC Aluminum Timing Cover - 2 Piece

The SBC Aluminum Timing Cover - 2 Piece by Edelbrock is an essential upgrade for small-block Chevy engine builds and restoration projects. This two-piece design eliminates the traditional single-piece timing cover, offering superior accessibility for valve timing adjustments, distributor work, and routine maintenance. Whether you're tuning a carbureted street engine, preparing a performance build, or restoring a classic Chevrolet, this lightweight aluminum cover reduces parasitic weight while improving underhood aesthetics and functionality.

Constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy, the SBC Aluminum Timing Cover delivers superior corrosion resistance and thermal dissipation compared to cast iron alternatives. The two-piece construction allows independent removal of upper and lower sections, significantly reducing labor time when accessing the timing chain, sprockets, or fuel pump eccentric. At just 1.7 pounds, this cover shaves unsprung weight from the front of the engine while maintaining rigidity and proper gasket sealing. Edelbrock's precision manufacturing ensures exact fitment and eliminates common leaking issues found in cheaper reproductions.

This timing cover suits any SBC engine platform—327, 350, 383, or 400 cubic-inch variants—making it ideal for hot rodders, engine builders, and enthusiasts performing cylinder head work or belt-driven accessory upgrades. The modular two-piece design proves invaluable when upgrading serpentine belt systems or installing aftermarket water pumps, as individual sections can be serviced without complete disassembly. Installation requires no special tools, and the cover accepts standard gasket materials for reliable long-term sealing. Pair this with a quality timing chain set and gasket kit for a complete, professional-grade front cover assembly.
