Billet Sidecovers for 460cc OHV Engines
Upgrade your engine with ARC Racing billet sidecovers for 460cc OHV engines, engineered for kart racing, pulling, and high-performance large block small engine applications. Precision-machined from billet aluminum, ARC sidecovers reinforce the crankcase, improve crankshaft support, and provide dependable strength for demanding high-RPM engine builds.
460cc OHV engines place serious load on the crankshaft, camshaft, and sidecover area when modified for performance use. As RPM, compression, and engine load increase, the factory cast sidecover can become a weak point. ARC Racing billet sidecovers are designed to replace the stock sidecover with a stronger billet component built for improved bottom-end stability, reduced crankshaft flex, and long-term durability.
