I got this cam cover in a lot of parts over the weekend. The number cast in the underside is 1050201510E01. Can anyone ID this? I wonder, but am prepared to be disappointed, that it's some kind of GTA item. My parts book shows 105020151001 (no E) as a normal 105 cover, and the listed GTA part is 10532...
It's not like any other normal 105 dished type cam cover I have seen, and it must be relatively early because it has no tangs on the front for hold-down bolts. On the other hand, it has the venting fitting, which would indicate a later item. Its dark, rough appearance inside and out, and the E in the PN lead me to think it might be Electron rather than normal aluminum? It's a very rough casting compared to most 105 cam covers, so I'm assuming sand cast rather than mold cast? Any help IDing appreciated. Thanks
