FE Timing Covers

To purchase an FE Power Timing Cover, please go to the link on the main page: 

http://www.fepower.net/Products/fetc.html


- Features:

     - Removable front cover with an O-ring seal, allowing removal of the top timing gear and camshaft through the cover, or changing the cam timing if an adjustable top cam gear is used.

     - Extended bolt bosses for the bottom two bolts, allowing the front corner oil pan bolts to be tapped through more material.  This eliminates the stripped threads commonly found in factory FE timing covers.

     - Additional mounting bosses on the front of the cover around the crankshaft opening, for attaching brackets or mounting additional parts, such as a crank sensor.

     - Provisions to use the stock FE front seal, or alternatively a 351C front seal.  Using the 351C front seal allows the seal to be changed without removing the timing cover, and also allows the use of available 351C double lip seals, for use on engines with vacuum pumps or dry sumps.  (Using the 351C front seal requires the sealing surface of the stock FE crank sleeve to be machined towards the front of the engine).

     - Front cover plate is powder coated in a shiny silver color; black or dark blue powder coated covers are available by special request, at no extra cost.



- Options:  There are two part numbers of the timing covers available; see the description and photos below.

     Part #14001 includes the mechanical fuel pump mount.

     Part #14002 is machined flat with no hole for the mechanical fuel pump. (Note:  FE Power is currently out of stock on the #14002 covers.  They are expected back in stock in early 2017)

I'll take a 14002 with stock fe seal, silver. Sent you an email.

I'll take a 14001, silver. Sending an email now.

Just one question, will replacement O-ring seals be available should one be needed?

[jayb]

Yes, I will have the O-rings in stock for any potential replacement requirements.  FWIW though, I've R&Rd the one on my 428CJ at least a dozen times already, and no issues so far.

I'm interested in one of the 14001, I sent an Email.

Hi Jay, I just received my 14002 timing cover in the post and wanted to say a big thanks. What a great looking and well made part! Thanks again.

[jayb]

Glad you like it, Todd.  Seems like it got there pretty fast too; I've had books take 3 weeks to get to Australia...

Jay, I received  my cover Thursday . What a great cool part. Thanks for helping to keep the FE alive.
What's next in the Que

[jayb]

Glad you like it.  I'm currently working on an intake manifold designed specifically for use with my intake adapter.  Still at least several months away on that one...

Jay,
Received the cover today - very pleased!  Here's a pic of it mocked up on my 427 Marine block destined for the Galaxie.

Jay: any thoughts about doing the removable front piece in finned aluminum?
Might be asking a lot  but I'm into the older look. as in this picture.

I've thought about it, but then the water pump would have to be spaced out to clear the thicker finned cover.  Then, the water pump pulley would be spaced out, so a spacer for the crank pulley would also be required.  Not to mention spacing out the alternator. 

Let's say I did do a finned aluminum cover.  How would you handle the other requirements?

[Dumpling]

Electric water pump with spacers?

Marine cam-driven water pump?

An option of a finned cover might be a good idea, there certainly has been enough interest. A person could always add it to a FE Power timing cover they already have if they use it on a different build as long as it's interchangeable. Just be sure to add the disclaimer that it won't fit with a standard water pump. Unique FE Power water pump adapters with longer legs could be offered. I see applications with street rods, dragsters, boats, etc.
