Yea, thats quite a bit more reasonable. But, gotta make your profits. Anyone know what the timing cover costs new from a cheap GM wholesaler?

Edit: Answered my own question. Its like $55 from any wholesaler. Yea, $125 is reasonable.

Nasty N8, any possibilities of $125? Looks like there is a fair number of people interested at this price

Sorry with the cover and seal costs. Then it has to be machined down the new piece is machined from billet aluminum and then welded on to the factory cover hardware and custom made gaskets to make it seal correctly. For the labor involved it is well worth it.

We could prob save you guys $75 if you want to send in your cover.

Nate,
If you can guarantee that the thing fits correctly, seals correctly, clears everything correctly and definitely allows the cam to be fully withdrawn and swapped just by removing the top part of the cover (i.e. not just to adjust cam timing), I'll take one.
I'm not being funny but I've come across crappy modified parts before and I'm really hoping that this isn't one!!
Does it come with a replacement crank seal?

Its works and for the corvette guys its awesome.
Once u put this on you'll never have to remove the rack again.
It clears and the cam can be pulled easily..

Contact Nate for me info...

Will do. Just wanted to make sure it clears water pump and a double roller chain etc.
I think you might benefit from posting a pic of the complete cover installed if you have one.
