Jebby, would the intensity of the cam factor into this .600" lift general rule of thumb?

Thanks Jebby,
Would you happen to have a part number for the Felpro gasket?

Use these two items:

The Cloyes street roller is the best you can buy on a budget. Unless you are running .600 roller cams....this is fine.
The Allstar cover was a all day research find for me about 10 years ago.......NOBODY made a SBC timing cover with the "peace sign" stamped in it........this was a problem for using roller cams. I have used about 40 or 50 of these in the past 10 years and with the short roller button.....you run this cover with a Fel Pro gasket and you get a spot on .010 cam endplay......no really, I'm serious
I have this cover on my own 406 and it works great with the short water pump. Price is right too.

I run these on my two Vette motors and cam change and rebuilds and they are still good to go. I've used them on motors that I have built and under power or under compression braking you have so little slop that your timing does not change

Thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it.
George, thats a nice set but its out of my budget.
Im thinking it will be a good idea to replace the oil pan seal at the same time. I was thinking of this one, FEL-PRO OS34510T. Would this be a good choice? The engine in the car is a NOM, its a GM Goodwrench engine.
