Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2006v-8 timing cover
I bought an original V-8 timing cover to repair the leaking crank snout oil seal and replace mine. I've been reading ads for V-8 parts that list 1951-1954 V-8 applications. Does this imply that major changes were made in the 1955 and up engines? The cast number inside the cover is 1544995. Is this correct for my 1955 259 cu in engine? I'd hate to pull the cover off the motor and find that I had repaired the wrong part. I don't like the car down for any greater length of time than is absolutely necessary. Thank you all, Dexter If your seal can be removed with the four little screws, you have the late cover. > I bought an original V-8 timing cover to repair the leaking crank snout oil > seal and replace mine.

I *think* all the later timing covers are the same. nate If the cover you are wanting to use has a provision for a fuel pump, then you are in business. The '51-'54 V8's had the fuel pump up on the oil fill tube. Jerry >I bought an original V-8 timing cover to repair the leaking crank snout oil >seal and replace mine.
