FE Timing Covers

[jayb]

Read the first post in this thread, that will give you pricing and payment instructions.  I have the 14001 covers in stock for immediate shipment - Jay

Did the finned cover plate ever hit production?

[jayb]

Nope, I haven't gotten to that yet, unfortunately.  Hopefully sometime this winter.  I will post in this thread and the other thread on the Member Projects forum when I have it ready.

Jay: when you get the finned covers in.
I'm a customer.

Jay, Do you or get the adjustable timing chain for your cover

[jayb]

I'm waiting for Barry on that one.  I've got a prototype that I can show you, if you are coming by on the 21st - Jay

Off topic I know but Jay, have you ever ran off any FE power decals ?

[jayb]

Nope, I've thought about it, and I'll probably do it eventually, but up until now I haven't.

I'm sure it would be a cool design, I'd happily fly a few..

is the 1402  fuel pump blank thick enough to drill and tap for a 3/8 pipe thread , to run pcv off of , to be able to run baldy valve covers .

If I understand your question right, you would be sucking oil from the timing chain constantly.  A real smoker, and run low on oil very quickly.  I would not even consider this as a viable option.  Joe-JDC

I know of at least one guy who claims to be doing that successfully, although I haven't seen his setup.  He is using a standard timing cover with a plate, and welded a bung into the plate to hook up to his crankcase evacuation system.  But, he may be burning some oil, I don't know.

I will check the thickness of the 14002 timing cover at the fuel pump location and post the results later - Jay

It's quite common actually, even if its not thick enough to tap, you could use a standard sandwich type valve cover vacuum pump fitting. Filtered or non filtered, maybe turn the holes toward the front of the cover.
JMO.

The 14002 timing cover is roughly 1/4" thick on the flat surface where the fuel pump would have mounted.  I think you could probably tap it with 3/8" pipe and get away with it, since there wouldn't be any real stress on the fitting.  1/4" pipe for sure...
