The left inside hole where one of the short bolts from the water pump goes (nipple in middle left of picture) is actually not drilled through on the new timing cover I just got. Is this normal? Should I get a shorter bolt or drill it through?
Also, any opinions on using a used, slightly corroded backing plate? Of course I would clean it up first. I'm assuming the answer is to buy a new one - don't cut corners on a $20 part? Only annoying thing is that none of the dealers around here have one and I'd have to wait on shipping - no work this weekend on the engine.
