- Late type (from mid-1946)
- Protective cover for timing gears camshaft and crankshaft

- Not compatible with early chain drive
★ Essential component for proper sealing and protection of the timing mechanism on late type engines.
Application
Suitable for late CJ-2A (from mid-1946), CJ-3A, CJ-3B, M38, M38A1 and related vehicles with L-134 or F-134 engine fitted with gear drive. NOT suitable for early MB, GPW or early CJ-2A with chain drive (before engine number 44418, approx. May 1946).
Installation notes
Note: the timing cover must be fitted with the correct gasket and oil seal. Before fitting, check that your engine has gear drive and not the older chain drive — the covers are NOT interchangeable. The timing cover is secured to the engine block with bolts and nuts through the timing cover and the front engine plate.
Compatibility
ONLY for engines with gear drive. Early L-134 engines (MB, GPW, early CJ-2A up to approx. May 1946) have a chain drive with a different type of cover. The transition from chain to gear drive occurred at engine number 44418 (mid-1946). Check your engine number or inspect visually: chain or gears behind the cover.
Historical context
From mid-1946, Willys changed from the original chain drive to direct gear drive for the camshaft, a more robust and lower-maintenance solution that was used in all subsequent L-134 and F-134 engines.
