Timing Case Covers

Separate timing case covers are bolted to the two cylinder heads and the crankcase.

The upper timing case covers have ports for the VCC solenoid valves and Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors. The 
lower cover has an integral mounting for the alternator which acts as a water jacket. A drain plug and sealing ring is 
fitted to the bottom of the mounting.

Rubber pre-formed gaskets form seals between the cylinder heads and crankcase and respective timing case covers.
