Put the cam in your block along with the timing set and oil pump drive and timing cover then check the end play and go from there, if it has less than .010 forward movement don't worry about it If more than .010 the fix it 440 Source sells a decent fabricated welded aluminum cover that might work for you Let us know your results please
Heard the 440 cover wasn't the greatest and wouldn't work with factory water pump housings. Don't I need to worry about the factory steel cover allowing the cam to move and alter timing without reinforcing it?
