2G Timing Cover

[jinscho]

I'm finishing up my 7 bolt build and need to order a new timing cover set for it, however I'm at a loss with what exactly to order. I know the 7 bolt covers for the 2G consist of three sections, I also know the 95-96 and 97-99 covers are different... and that is exactly where my problem lies. My motor is a 95 block with a 97 head, and I have no idea where the differences are or what to order.

Can you guys help me out with correct part numbers for my situation for the following parts:

Lower Cover
Mid Cover
Top Cover
Backing plates (head only, I have the backing plate for the block)

Thanks in advance!

it may help to order all and see what fits then send back what you don't need that might be easier for you.

The top and bottom are the same in all 2G engines. The middle one is early '95 vs mid '95 thru '99.

Ok... With that in mind.. where does the mid cover line up? Should I purchase the mid cover based on my 95 block.. or the 97 head?

If I recall correctly, the difference in the middle cover was due to where it was made for the wiring to the '95-'96 CAS to pass through. If you aren't using a '95-'96 CAS, then order the later 2G unit so the cover is "sealed" (so it doesn't have a hole in it).

Well that should help you out plenty of information to get your timing cover on.
