The reason I was replacing the timing cover was the other owner broke off the top right bolt ear.
They did not take out the middle bolt on the timing cover it is very hard to see if you don’t know it is there.
I used my band saw to cut the bolt ear off this nice shinny cover.
Today it warmed up so I broke out my welder and welded the cover bolt ear back on.
Top is welded (top bolt whole) bottom is before welding
We cleaned up the cam caps
