Plain Jane OEM nothing to see here rebuild

Update:

I used JB Weld on the suspect area just to be sure...sanded it down of course. Engine is assembled up to oil pump, front stack and cover.


I have class part of tomorrow but I'll finish up the meat of the engine tomorrow. One thing I don't remember and I know I've asked in the past. When setting play on the front stack do I want the flywheel on with the nut tightened down to spec?

The problem with using any kinda epoxy in that kinda environment is:
1) heat cycling will cause the epoxy to loosen or even break up,
2) Additional exposure to coolant and / or combustion gases can only hurt.

I've used housing like that, and Hylomar takes care of any worries of sealing.

Doesn't matter...
If fact, it'll make it harder to do the end play procedure with more weight on the e-shaft.
The only thing that matters is that the "front stack" is complete and torqued down to spec.
This includes everything under the front oil cover + front pulley boss + front eccentric shaft bolt torqued to spec.
