In THIS car, i am definitely not above some JB Weld, lol!
so would you literally have added permatex to the TOP surface of the timing cover where it meets the cylinder head? at least in the jointed areas? i made it so it would squeeze out just a teenie tiny bit (if any) right there, solely to fill that gap between the cover and the front of the block. i can't get my arms around how much to use and exactly where.
problem is that ANY treatment of this space requires a LOT of work to get to.
that's why i am debating whether i should pull the timing cover NOW or gamble that installing the bolts that were supposed to be there in the first place ends up solving the problem.
it'd probably help to have a set of more experienced eyes on this.
