Cam button / stock timing chain cover

360duster said
Hi Guys, is the stock timing chain cover sufficient / strong enough when a roller cam is used? I plan to use a hydraulic roller in a 512, have got the comp cams 206 cam button to ride on the cover. Small block guy doing this swap the first time, so any information is appreciated. Thanks!

I wedeld a stainless steel washer in my timing cover for the button to bump against , will still have figure out the .007-.0010 clearance on the button...

you can further reinforce it with the correct shims , between the cover and the water pump > like some old chevy boys did -----LOL
