Pretty accurate measurement is needed...better than just a tape measure if possible. Thanks! All I have here is the short deck Arrow cover and they are not as deep as a stock one.

I also took a measurement of one on an assembled engine and got 2.522" but you would have to account for the compressed thickness of the .030" timing cover gasket. Hope this helps. Rod
