Hole in Timing cover of fresh built engine, considering purchasing bulltear cover.
So I went to fill my freshbuilt engine with distilled water for the first start and a river opened up from the timing cover. There is what looks to be a puncture in the cover from the drivers side above the fuel pump hole right where the cover meets block. It's curled in ward, though small, any hole is a bad hole and it leaks like a stuck pig, so obviously the cover needs to be replaced. All of my equipment in this area (timing cover) is factory spec (including oil filter, etc). I am wondering what all i should go ahead and replace while I am in there. Timing cover obiovusly, oil filter adapter? Mid plate? distro and oil gears? The only thing I've added to this engine is a pre-luber, which is plugged into the galley underneath the filter. I was thinking this may not be ideal of a place since the line has to turn 45deg through a 1/8th pipe and may not flow so well. What do you guys recommend I purchase here? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
New Timing cover at a minimum. We do not carry any new oil filter adaptors due to the defects they all have but we do carry and stock the oil filter relocation kits.
Also your preluber may not be in a good spot. Give the shop a call 651-257-7917
