Chingon's Engine Build

[XR7-4.6]

None of the timing cover bolt holes are “wet”(actually I can’t think of any in the mod motors that are)

That’s super weird, my pops and I literally took of the charger bracket and left the 2 bolts out and had 0 leaks, out the bracket back on and the leak came back. Pretty frustrated at this point.

I start my new job tomorrow so I’ll have a lil time after work to try something out.

Thanks for the info btw

What is leaking? Oil, coolant, something else?

I thought there was a bolt that would leak but the explorer front cover had that bolt. am I on crack?

It’s leaking engine oil from the timing cover in that general area. It’s the same leak from prior rebuild that killed my engine

if so we’re both on crack haha

It’s could be a PS pump leak if it’s in that area,

What is immediately behind the cover? Just the chains and guides?

Is it the correct bolt to be using there? Should it be shorter or longer, perhaps?

Is the cover metal fatigued and installing the bolt separate / crack the metal enough?

How fast / slow is the leak?
