CVR Performance Engine Timing Cover

CVR Performance Billet Aluminum Engine Timing Covers

When ignition timing slips, power and reliability follow. That's why serious builders turn to CVR Performance for engine timing covers engineered to hold everything in place under the harshest racing and street conditions. Founded in 1990, CVR Automotive Racing Products has built a reputation for supplying racers, street rodders, and performance enthusiasts with the finest aftermarket components. All CVR racing products are manufactured in Ontario, Canada, with the majority of components designed and machined in-house and the remainder sourced from select premium US suppliers — never purchased and repackaged from low-quality offshore sources.

What Sets CVR Timing Covers Apart

CVR Performance's billet aluminum timing covers are hand-polished and constructed from rigid T6-6061 billet aluminum, a design that prevents camshaft movement and keeps timing accurate. The standout engineering detail is the two-piece construction: the two-piece design allows the camshaft to be replaced without disturbing the oil pan seal, and each kit includes bolts, gaskets, seal, cam button, and shims. This is a significant advantage for anyone who regularly upgrades or refreshes cam profiles, eliminating the need to drop the oil pan just to swap a camshaft.

CVR's billet timing covers are engineered to eliminate flexing problems, holding the cam in place and keeping timing under control, while allowing the camshaft to be replaced without disturbing the oil pan seal. CVR supports and participates in professional motorsports, including IHRA and NHRA, meaning these covers are developed and validated in the most demanding competitive environments before reaching your engine bay.

Engine Family Coverage & Finish Options

CVR Performance engine timing covers span a broad range of popular American V8 platforms. Coverage includes Small Block Chevy and GM V6 applications in clear anodized aluminum. Big Block Chevy builders can choose from kits in red anodized aluminum, complete with gaskets, hardware, and seal. Mopar B/RB-Series engines are also supported, with black anodized aluminum kits available. For the modern LS platform, CVR offers two-piece aluminum timing covers for GM LS-Series engines, including versions with integrated cam sensor provisions. Finish choices typically include clear anodized, black anodized, and red anodized — allowing builders to coordinate their engine's appearance along with its performance hardware.

A Complete Kit, Ready to Install

One of the most practical aspects of CVR's timing cover line is that each kit ships as a complete solution. Rather than sourcing hardware, gaskets, and seals separately, every CVR timing cover kit bundles the necessary components for a clean, complete installation. CVR's machine shop is tooled with the latest CNC machining centers, which enables them to produce components to the tightest tolerances. For builders who demand precision from every component on their build, CVR Performance timing covers represent a purpose-built upgrade over stock stamped-steel covers that can flex, leak, and allow cam walk under load.
