22re cracked timing cover!!!!
i had my 22re rebuilt and i was installing the timing cover....then i noticed a cracked the cover!!!!!!!! :pat:
the bolt way up top that connects it to the head made it crack....i torqued it down to 9lbs
i was thinking since there really isnt much pressure maybe i could seal it with something????????

a new timing cover is around $60 i think, i would go that route unless you know that you can seal it good, you don't want to get it all back together and have a leak, do it right the first time

reason for crack
Fellas, if the gasket comes off with the cover, this is th front part of the head gasket and must, I repeat, must be put back with a piece of a new gasket when you reassemble. This space left void of the front head gasket will always crack the cover. Use Permatex Ultra Copper sealant on the top and it will ber good to go. Also leave the front bolts loose untill you snug up the top bolt.Don't ever put back the plastic guides, see D.O.A. Racing for some steel guides,money well spent(80.00). You can leave the broken pieces in the pan as they are so big that they won't ever plug up the huge screen on the pickup tube. You can lift the motor enough on a 4x4 by taking out the motor mount bolts(4) and taking the steering loose on the driver side only and dropping the pan and slipping through the front of the pan take the pickup tube off and leave in pan as you slide the pan out the front!
Victor makes a pan gasket for these and order a new pickup tube gasket from dealer for the reinstall.I cleaned my pan because I am a finatic about things, but wasn't necessary.I just put a 85re motor home engine in a 92re 4x4 5 speed. No problems whatsoever. Hopes this helps someone. Tim

hehe, hapens alot with the pickup's motors, there's hidden bolts that you can't really see, you pull it beaks, mine was sealed after the motor was rebuilt (costly bugger it was). I have a little bit of oil undser my truck, just keep an eye on it for a loss of alot of oil.
