Things on the duck are starting to suck.... I started working on it tonight to get it on the road. Missing starter bolt.. Fixed, charge light fixed (bad alternator), missing rocker cover bolt had to drill and Tap a thread in head gently. Done. Tighten loose calipers bolt done.


Well drilling and tapping the rocker bolt was ok til I went to put the cover back on, I forgot to remove a bolt from the cover and it fell down the front cover between the chain and cover. Went to get the magnet..... It dropped before I could get the magnet.

Fark! So now motor has to come out. Drained oil hoping it may have worked its way through by luck.... No luck. Would have better chances at tattslotto.

So think I will drop the Sump first, if its not there front cover has to come off, which means head gasket too. Im crap out of luck.

Can I use rtv red or there bond on Sump and timing cover. I have no spare gaskets.
