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!

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.

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.

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.
