Very nice! Are you running a gear drive on there? Looks like a gear drive cover.

Its not a gear drive, just a Comp 2 piece cover. Its stout enough to keep the thrust bearing on the nose of the cam from deflecting it, so I really like it.

Looks really cool! I'm just using one of those little aluminum cam button inserts in the front that rests against the stock timing cover. Guess someday it will just wear through the stock cover!

I've been running the bearing buttons for years, and you can hardly tell the wear on the back of the timing cover. I don't think they put much pressure against the cover. I keep the end play between 5 and 10.
