Why Choose the Mastodon Timing Chain Cover Kit?
This timing cover kit offers a smarter, more reliable choice because it takes the guesswork out of engine sealing. A worn-out cover or a hardened seal is a primary source of front-end oil leaks on an SBC. By choosing this Mastodon complete kit, you eliminate the hassle of chasing down individual, mismatched parts. Furthermore, you gain the peace of mind that comes from using a fresh, high-quality crank seal. This seal is critical because it stops oil from pouring onto your harmonic balancer and belts. Ultimately, this one comprehensive kit ensures that your engine remains dry and your timing marks stay accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need a complete kit?
You need a complete kit because the timing chain cover relies on multiple sealing surfaces. You need a new gasket to seal the cover to the block. You also need a new crank seal for the harmonic balancer snout. This kit gives you all these fresh, matching parts. - Will this fit a double roller timing chain?
Yes, this cover provides the necessary clearance. Most SBC timing chain covers are designed to accommodate the slightly thicker profile of a double roller timing chain. - What is the difference between the gasket and the seal?
The gasket seals the flat surface where the cover bolts to the engine block. The crank seal is a circular lip seal that sits inside the cover. This seal rides on the harmonic balancer snout. - Do I need to put sealant on the gasket?
You typically apply a very thin bead of RTV silicone at the bottom. You should only apply it where the cover meets the oil pan gasket. This prevents a common leak point. - Is this a one-piece or two-piece design?
We designed this kit with the common one-piece cover. This is the standard style for most classic SBC applications. - Will this work with a short or long water pump?
Yes, this timing chain cover works with both short and long water pump setups. The difference in pump length does not affect the cover itself. - Do you offer nationwide shipping?
Yes, we offer fast and reliable nationwide shipping across South Africa. You can order from anywhere in the country. All orders are processed and shipped from our location in Alberton.
