By the way im batman i have seen a lot of your posts and really like having guys like you here for when i need help.

We all like to be helpful. I could have sworn someone asked the same question a few months back, but I may be wrong. I hope you get it figured out.

I have some additional question regarding the cam button. If you use the comp cams 2 piece timing chain cover :
- will this cover clear the corvette water pump ?
- the rollorized crane button was installed taller than my stock chain cover, will it also be taller than the comp. cams cover ? If so, what can be done.
- if the button is smaller, it will probably need shimming. What kind of shims to use ? Can these be had with summit (i buy all my motor parts via summit)

Thanks

Yes. Might have to touch a couple of the rear pump cover bolts with a grinder

Sell your crane button. This cover comes with the button made into the cover.

No shims required. The adjustable button is integrated into the cover. The covers are available through Summit.
