I'm contemplating using the intermediate front cover on my present engine build.
I have done some search on site and have read quite a few post.
Does anyone know the Rover part # for this.
Also would like any thoughts and caveats and gotchas
I've got a few spare that I can sell.
They work great; tons of oil pressure and no more pump / gear drive issues.
The only negatives are you can't spin them up to build pressure using a drill, they usually don't pump enough at cranking on a new build to make pressure on the starter, and you really need to use a cam button or machine the cam and block for a retainer.
Personally I pressure lube the engine thru the oil pressure switch hole anyway so not an issue for me....
Will the cover work with a stock 215 crank or is the snout too short?
Where did my post go?
At the very least, you will have to enlarge the keyway.
in the other thread about front covers :-)
