[QUOTE="davidd, post: 97489, member: 1177"] Corey, That cover is a twin cover. Kavanagh may have built the twin from which the cover came. You can tell a twin cover because of the two holes that have screws in them to block them off on the right side. On the Comet you don't need the third hole for the cam and the fourth hole for the cylinder oiling. A Comet does not need these so oil galley is not even drilled. That galley on the right is drilled from the outside of the cover, so there is a grub screw blocking the drilling site, which is in the little triangle on the outside of the cover. A Comet timing cover will not need the grub screw, so it will be untouched on the outside of a Comet cover. Simon can possibly give you some details on the mating number stamped inside. I would call Matthew Biberman, if you have not already, and ask him if he knew any of the history. David I could not find this reply after it was posted, so I wrote it again in the "Misc" prefix before realizing there was a duplicate. [/QUOTE]
