Steel is fine with me aluminum is nice but I'm not going to throw a ton of money on it ..i just don't want any leaks if possible I have the Milodon 65650 and it doesn't leak, it's a nice rigid piece.

Watch the stock ones or cheap chrome ones. I always use a cam button to limit thrust and if you watch the cheapie they will bulge out

I'm using the 440 Source cover on my motor with a roller cam. Just clocked over a 1,000 miles on it this year and still bone dry. Website claims they're US made.

I saw one of 440 Source polished aluminum fabricated covers in their blem section, I ask about it and was told it was return do it not being exactly flat. I'm building a high dollar all new parts 572 C.I. Hemi motor for show car guy that wants everything chromed or polished, I had one of AR Engr. aluminum timing cover on the shelf but the stock water pump won't clear it so I order two of the fabricated polished aluminum 440 Source ones, one of them rocked on the hemi block and one didn't ![confused confused](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/confused.gif) I called them about the bent one and they told me all of them will be slightly bent due to heat warpage when they are welded up ![work work](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/work.gif) They said to bolt the bent one on the block to see if it will flatten out and seal up ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif) I installed the front seal in the other non bent one and it is bent now ![runaway runaway](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/runaway.gif) I'm going to bolt it on and see if I can get a .0015 feeler gauge to slide in all the way around it without a gasket, if I can I will use a gasket and some adhesive silicone gasket sealer to seal it up and pray it doesn't leak ![luck luck](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/luck.gif) IHTHs ![thumbs thumbs](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs.gif)

Neither one of my Mopar brand aluminum water pump housing would clear on that World block ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif) I used yours on one of my roller cam race motors for the thrust button, it has a 1/4 thick front motor plate on it
