The Texas Speed Gen 5 LT VVT Delete Timing Cover, Dry Sump, is the front cover used when the variable valve timing system is removed from a Gen V LT engine that runs factory dry sump oiling. It is a direct replacement for the factory cover, precision machined for a clean fit with both factory and aftermarket components, and it provides a tidy VVT delete without modifying the engine.
Texas Speed builds this cover for high-horsepower LT applications where deleting VVT is part of the camshaft and valvetrain plan. This listing is for the dry sump version of the cover only; the cam gear, reluctor wheel and timing set needed to complete a VVT delete are sold separately. A wet sump version is offered under part number TSP-LT1VVT-DeleteCover.

FAQ
What engines does the Texas Speed dry sump VVT delete timing cover fit?
Texas Speed designed this cover for Gen V LT-based engines with factory dry sump oiling that are having the variable valve timing system removed. Its fitment data lists the 2014 to 2019 Corvette and 2016 and newer Camaro; confirm the engine is a dry sump application.
What is the difference between the dry sump and wet sump VVT delete covers?
The two covers are built for the two factory LT oiling systems. This TSP-LT1VVT-DeleteCover-DS is for dry sump engines, while TSP-LT1VVT-DeleteCover is for wet sump engines. Choose the one that matches the engine's oiling system.
What is included with this VVT delete cover?
Only the timing cover. Texas Speed states that additional components such as cam gears, reluctor wheels and timing sets are sold separately, so plan on those parts to complete the VVT delete.
Does the cover require any modifications to install?
No. Texas Speed describes it as a direct replacement that is precision machined to fit factory and aftermarket components with no modifications required.
Why delete VVT on a Gen 5 LT engine?
Texas Speed lists VVT removal as a requirement for serious LT performance applications, where a fixed cam timing setup with a conventional cam gear supports aggressive camshafts and high-horsepower builds.
