I've got a voodoo roller coming for my 440, and I'm trying to figure out the front cover issue and dealing with the flex from a steel front cover. bought an Indy cast aluminum one only to find out it won't work with a factory crank dampener. Guess the jokes on me. Oh well, guess i needed some wall art. Any way what are the recommendations for a front cover, and if it's to use the stock piece, does anyone have the measurements of the metal they used to beef up that cover and eliminate flex?
Yep, lots of people find out the hard way that the Indy cover doesn't work with factory dampers or with the stock type water pump housing. Did you try the water pump housing or did you not get that far? What about the TDC pointer, did you see that there wasn't one? Sell the Indy cover to a race guy who has an aftermarket damper and an electric water pump. That is what it is designed for. If you want a good cover that is designed to work with a roller cam and fits with stock parts then buy one of mine.
