OOPS!!! stupid place for a bolt...
Saturday, March 29, 2008 10:28 PM


Ok now what a silly place for a bolt.... who put that in there??? Shesh... whoever did that owes me a new timing housing....



anyone know where i can get one of these? and in a hurry....


Is this something a dealership might have? or would that cost me my first born and my right nut?

autozone? napa? i dunno.... i usually try not to bust intergral engine parts like this...

My guess would be wrecking yard, Then try GM dealer could be a pretty fortune.

You should be able to get them all day long at the junk yard...

i broke my first one trying to pull the valve cover off... i didnt think GM would be stupid enough to bolt the side of the valve over on to it...

I have one- located near Philadelphia, PA.

Lemme guess what happened- you tried to remove the cover, but didn't see the bolt located under the timing chain tensioner shoe??

I'm sure you can find one @ a junkyard, but it would be a pain in the ass to remove it while the motor is still in the car..

Pm me if you need it... I would take $20+ shipping.
