Cracked Timing Gear Cover
Anybody know the best place to get a Timing Gear Cover New or Used for a 98 12-valve and a KDP install kit?

go to tst for your dowel pin fix kit, as for the timing cover check around online for one or maybe try a junk yard
|
IMO save your money on the TST kit and make a tear drop tab. use lock tight on pin and on the case mounting bolt. If i remember right the kit was pretty pricy. i made mine with some scrap thin steal i had layin around. 10 mins and i had one made.....so it was free. just a thought.

Think I'd look at tryin to fix the cover you have before you look for another cause your not gonna like what you find when you do find it. THEY ARE HIGH DOLLAR.

Mine broke and i cleaned and buffed it really good and smeared JB weld on it. I dont know how long it will hold but its been good for a month now. It broke right under the fan braket.

A decent welder should be able to fix it up on a permanent basis as long as it's just cracked and not busted with pieces missing. Even if it is it could still be fixed, just a little more work and won't look perty.
|
JB weld is a temporary fix at best. Good luck.
|
mines jb welded. it just leaks a little oil but i would rather dump in a little oil then pay for and change out the timing case.
|
Yeah, its a big job - I believe the cam has to come out.
