Arrow timing cover

On a 1999 502 MPI is the time cover stamped steel or is it a composite.

I believe a 99 is a Gen 6, that would be composite.

99 is a Gen VI which has a 6 bolt cast alloy cover not compatible with any others (they have 10 bolts).
Aftermarket Gen VI covers are hard to come by, I'm just going to srtip, polish and clear coat my factory one for looks!
