TIMING COVERS outer inner These are all twin chain timing covers until 20M3S/Commando which become a single chain cover These two types are not interchangeable First cover, 11 screws, 1949 and partial 1950 Model 7 Oil over pressure vents above OPV into the timing chest.
Second cover, now with 12 screws which continues until the end of commando.
This cover has provision for a round Norton badge sept 55-sept 57 pn 19257
This cover is styled similar to the previous cover with the round badge, but it's internal functioning has changed dramatically. It has a fully enclosed internal oil pressure bypass. Due to the removeable to clean filter, there is no provision for upgrade to a high pressure rocker feed.
Later 50's this cover allows the hook-up of a tach gearbox with a forward tilt of the cable.
Last cover prior to commando, 650 and atlas 20M. Now with a round mounting surface for the tach mount. normally with a more upright cable but sometimes with a reoriented drilling for a forward tilt of the cable.
First commando timing cover for 20M3. Still cam end tach drive.
This is a repeat of the 25186 cover but has a very small identifier difference. This cover was on a later 20M3 engine that had evolved to include a lowered timing chest drain.
First cover for the single chain family 20M3S + commando pn 06-1073 it has the ignition points and AA unit on the end of the cam.
Not a big change from prior cover but has a little boss below the OPV that may have been intended for the failed electric starter. MKIII commando cover, Timing chain check hole/plug, integral antisump check valve. Over pressure relief vents inside timing chest like first nortons. There may have been a few other engines that used this cover, specifically if the normal commando OPV flow passage was not fully drilled back to the oil pump input.
