 Re: Timing cover damage 01 Those pits are no problem. It looks like it happened long ago, and since has been washed clean.
I suspect electrolysis from running plain water, or maybe high-RPM cavitation. Using a stock water pump (with the cast impeller) is said to prevent cavitation -- the stamped impeller of cheap water pumps allows shock waves to build up at over 5000 rpm. Dunno if that actually occurs or not.
