Need Timing chain cover for 1983 L28E NA engine
 

Yeah, i need a timing chain cover for a 1983 l28e na engine. seems like no mainstream autoparts place sells the cover itself. i can get gaskets and seals all day long but no cover.

oh and i also have a question. Was there a difference in the timing chain covers between the 78 L28E and the 83 L28E? or did all the L-series engines have identical timing chain covers?

All L-series have the same basic timing cover.

L14, L16, L18, L20, L24, L26, L28 all the same

just don't get an L20b cover! :D

thanks Nismo, thanks bleach. since they're all the same, i know where i can pick up a cover near here for cheap. now watch it turn out to be the only one that doesn't work. that'd be my luck.:075:

if not i got an extra 2 sets lol

if for whatever reason that one no worky, i have a spare you can have. Curious...did your motor just not come with one or is there something wrong with the one you have?

I also have one for you. Let me know.

yeah now he was 3

chunk knocked out of the lower oil pump side of the timing chain cover. cam gear is cracked too. local z-car guru says the engine jumped time prolly cuz of a bad tensioner and the chain bunched at the bottom and knocked a chunk out.
