Description

The Canton 21-900 Timing Cover delivers OEM-spec fitment for small block Chevrolet engines, manufactured entirely in the USA from high-grade 18-gauge steel. Canton engineered this cover to address common timing cover failures by precisely centering the crank seal on the crankshaft snout, eliminating the oil leaks that plague lesser aftermarket covers. Whether you're building a street performer or a dedicated track car, this timing cover provides the reliable sealing and protection your valvetrain demands. Browse our complete engines and components selection for additional build essentials.

Canton stamped this timing cover from premium 18-gauge steel rather than thinner materials, providing the rigidity needed to maintain proper seal contact under high-RPM operation. The silver-plated finish resists corrosion while presenting a clean appearance in the engine bay. What sets the 21-900 apart is its enlarged cam button area, specifically designed to accommodate roller camshafts without modification. This clearance eliminates the grinding and fitment headaches common when installing performance cams. The cover bolts directly to standard small block Chevy mounting locations, and Canton backs the product with a one-year warranty when properly installed. Pair it with a quality timing kit for a complete refresh.

This timing cover suits builders working on 262 through 400 cubic inch small block Chevrolet platforms, from daily drivers to weekend warriors. The roller cam compatibility makes it particularly valuable for performance builds where aggressive cam profiles demand additional clearance. We stock the Canton 21-900 alongside related components like oil pans and windage trays to support your complete engine assembly. For street machines and race builds alike, this USA-made cover delivers the fit and finish that Canton has built their reputation on.

Frequently Asked Questions
