Will this timing cover work for roller cam button??

I was wondering if any of you had used this timing cover to replace the cam button for a retrofit hydraulic roller cam??

Cloyes 9-221

That is what I put on mine. Got a nice Milodon complete setup in the C3 for sale area if you are going electric water pump.

re BB's

Is there a specific cover you need for a BB with a roller cam and button? What about timing gears?

They make a BB version of the same cover, you don't need a button with this cover.....Timing gears can be regular double roller setups as long as they clear the block and endplay can be limited by the cover or button.

I have one on my 406. The built in roller cam button in this cover makes adjusting cam end play very easy. I didn't want to pull the freeze plug on the block to check end play, so this fit my needs. If you also run the Cloyes quick adjust timming chain, this cover makes cam timming changes a snap. Expensive YES...but also has great quality and good looks.
