This is what it says on summit racing about the Milodon cover...
Description: Swap out your leaky stock timing chain cover with one of these stylish, high-quality Milodon steel timing covers. Each cover is precision-checked for the proper placement of the seal and dowel pins to avoid leaks and ensure an exact fit. They come in your choice of gold or chrome finishes and are built tough to withstand severe cam loads. The covers are also available in a reinforced cam thrust model that features a .090 in. thick wear plate welded into place. This provides a positive cam stop and stiffens the covers to stand up to severe cam loads. When using a cam button with these reinforced thrust model covers, the short, late model style cam button must be used.
Even though they advertise this cover as being " built tough to withstand severe cam loads" which I can only assume means forward thrust, I am beginning to have my doubts. It also says comes in gold and chrome but it actually only comes in gold and black for mopar. I have a feeling this description for the cover is a generic Milodon timing cover write up that was probably copy and pasted from a random Milodon wesite description that could have been for a Chevy or any other make of cover. When it gets here today, if it's a thin piece of cap cover that is no better than any other stamped steel cover I will send it back. Wish I could see a photo of a cover that someone has reinforced with a washer so I could understand better what you are talking about.
