Guest TomB Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Greetings:I have another question regarding our '27 EU Standard Six engine build. I know the timing cover is painted black; however, what color is correct for the timing plate? Is the timing plate also black, or is it some other color? Thank you.Respectfully,TomB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not quite sure what you are referring to, Tom. By timing cover do you mean the small square cover over the timing pointer in the flywheel housing.? Timing plate - not sure?CheersTerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomB Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi Terry:Sorry for the confusion. I am not talking about the small cover in the flywheel housing. I'm at the front end of the engine. If you remove the timing cover to expose the timing chain and gears, you will see the timing plate that attaches to the front of the engine. I'm in need of the correct color for the timing plate at the front of the engine. Thanks again.Respectfully,TomB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I think TomB is referring to the steel plate that attaches to the front of the engine that the aluminum timing chain cover bolts to. So, it sounds like the aluminum timing chain cover should be black but what about the edges and rear face of the steel plate? I would guess the same but have nothing to support that.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light, I wish the cover was aluminum. Definitely cast iron.EDIT What does your chain tensioner look like? I'm betting it's like mine - broken.
