Long Block less the timing chain cover..what are they smoking? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I got a kick out of this, seeing a head gasket installed on a long block without the timing chain cover..

I guess this is the new 'rebult' deal..how do we know how much the timing chain cover has to be machined now to match the engine?

I guess I've never thought about it before, but I've never taken my timing cover down to the machine shop with the block to be machined. At least the blocks he is selling are late model blocks that you can still find timing covers for.

I like all the silver over spay on the rocker assembly

Remanufactured: A properly rebuilt automotive part. The item has been completely disassembled, cleaned, and examined for wear and breakage

I believe the proper way to do a head gasket is to install the timing chain cover first..

What does this have to do with tech?

Erick561 · 08-11-2012, 09:12 AM

You are looking for "rebuilt" engines on fleebay and you expect them to be a quality product?

They probably don't get any cores that have good covers.
I guess you could go get an aftermarket Dorman cover.

Take it and the long block to the machine shop so they could measure and machine accordingly. It would suck to always have a crank seal leak. But I really wonder what their tolerance is for decking a block? Maybe they only machine the heads?
