Title: Close, but no potatoe...
Product review: Gotta love spending a weekend lovingly rebuilding your motor to factory specs, then opening up the new timing cover you bought to make sure its done right and finding out that it has some serious flaws. The casting has two major problems: 1. The oil pump spec cannot be set correctly without having the outer cavity surface machined, even when installing brand new oil pump gears. 2. The water pump does not have the thermostat bypass machined into it as shown in Dorman's own pictures. Add to that the fact that the cavity is not deep enough for the impeller and you get one frustrated mechanic!I cannot find a water pump that will fit the casting. I left the oil pump clearance at .003" over spec because I had no choice!! I need to get this done and back on the road! Thanks for nothing Dorman.
