So I was trying to track down an oil leak and found this:







Not happy. Time for a new timing chain cover.

Awe come on now, a little REV and it'll end good as new.

Somebody overtorqued the secret bolt.

engnbldr has covers for $50, but if you wanted to save a little money I bet you could pull that cover and clean the silicone off and plug that crack with JBWeld.

I figured they tried to take it off without removing said secret bolt. No matter. New cover kit with steel rails is on its way.
