Timing-chain

Philipp, Two questions you asked not answered. Lift of the cam lobes is the same however they do have different valve timing & dwell ( not obvious). There is no difference between S/C cylinder heads & standard cylinder heads.The upholstery in your car appears to be original . 31361F Henry

810s had a rectangular handle as yours does. 812s had a small round key lock, no handle. Understand that there were occasional exceptions to every Cord standard. They may just have had a set of 810 doors sitting around. Or, the buyer may have requested them. Or, someone may have switched them in the past 70+ years.

Josh, what's the difference ? and What would that implye ? The body has a bustleback no tags but was palmbeachtan outside and inside some sort of burgundy very fine grain metalflake, upholstery is burgundy fabric too

This car has 810 glove box doors.

If there is a SC-timingchain fitted to the engine, could one conclude that with that beeing a fact, there is also a SC-camshaft mounted in the engine ?
As one would think if the chain and camtimingwheel is wider, the camshaft would be longer too, right ?

Are the lobes of the camshaft higher or wider on the peak than standard ?
How can the SC-heads be identified from the standard heads ?

Anyhow, i aprisiate your technical knowledge, sharing with me and other intrested fellow club members. <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

Henry, I never like making suggestions to senior scholars of Cord, however I think that the s/c chain is .500 inches wider then std. making it 1.750 in width

Philipp, I can't answer all your questions exactly because I didn't take the time to measure each part , but this should sufice . The standard t/c is 1.25 " wide &amp; the cover is a steel stamping with a cast iron tach adapter bolted to it . The S/C t/c cover is an aluminum casting (a picture exists showing a stamped housing but I have never seen a real stamped steel one in 60 years of Cords) .The S/C t/c is about .250 " wider than the standard engine t/c . You have a big restoration ahead of you ! 31631F Henry

Hi out there, i'm about to identifie some of the parts i've got with my Custom Beverly i bought latley and picked up last week in Switzerland.

What is the width of a standard timing-chain compared to a supercharged one ?

What is the deepness of the timingchain-cover compared to standard and supercharged ?

Any numbers to identifie ?

Many thanks in advanced for your help. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->
