Skunk2 Billet Timing Chain Cover for Honda K24Z7

Skunk2 Timing Chain Cover – Honda K24Z7 (2012–2015 Civic Si)

If you’re building or refreshing a K24Z7, this is one of those parts that just makes sense. The Skunk2 Timing Chain Cover is the original billet K-series cover that people reference for a reason, it fixes real OEM annoyances while cleaning up the front of your engine at the same time.

This cover is CNC-machined from solid 6061 billet aluminum, so it’s far stronger than the factory piece without adding unnecessary weight. In fact, it’s about 14% lighter than OEM, trimming roughly 10 ounces while still feeling rock-solid in your hands. It’s built for engines that actually get torn down, adjusted, and pushed, not just daily commuters.

The two-piece modular design is where this cover really shines. You can access the timing gear or pull the cylinder head without yanking the entire cover off the engine. If you’re running a shaved head or decked block, no problem, this design plays nicely with reduced dimensions and still seals correctly thanks to a machined O-ring groove between the upper and lower sections.

Skunk2 also thought about the small stuff that matters during a build. There’s an oversized access door for the timing chain tensioner, so adjustments don’t turn into a knuckle-busting session. The integrated chain guide keeps the timing chain from jumping teeth or losing its position when cams or the head come off, which can save you a major headache during reassembly.

And yes, it looks as good as it works. The upper cover is engraved with “Skunk2 Racing,” while the lower cover carries their “Innovate or Die” mantra. It’s subtle, clean, and very on-brand for a serious K-series build.
