My car came with a janky 7 bolt cover scabbed onto my GC4S 6 bolt motor and after hours of research I keep coming up empty on a part number for a timing cover, anyone know it? Also to add I am making an assumption the stock 6 bolt cover will not fit with the taller deck height, is that correct?

thanks
 
After a ton of digging around I came across the an oem part number for the 1994 Galant 2.4 DOHC / 2g DSM for fitment. The mid cover is different between the 4g63/4g64 due to the deck height.

Lower
Part Number: MD332865
Supersession(s): MD193337

Mid
MD191813

7 bolt front cases are different to the 6 bolt, the 94 Galant DOHC engine is a 7 bolt engine, and the G4CS is a 6 bolt Hyundai SOHC engine, they never came DOHC in the USA with a G4CS, the closest cover you are going to find is a DOHC 1g 6 bolt timing cover as far as bolting on, especially if you are using a 1g DSM oil pump/front case, or maybe a DOHC Hyundai G4CP clone timing cover, the height difference is only 6mm of difference to a 4G63T block, so its not that much taller, and you might not have a gap at all to the top timing cover.

To update this, only proper solution is to run a lower 6 bolt timing cover with the top cut down with a 7 bolt mid cover to work with a 2g mount.

Apparently rix racing is also coming out with covers for a 6 bolt in a 2g as well, not sure if he will make one the the 2.4 deck height.
