p51hellfire Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 As the title states I need a front timing cover for the L engine out of my 78 280z, the jerk off previous owner decided to strip out two of the water pump housing bolts.. And not tell me anyway I need this asap don't know how much there worth but if it's too high I'll heli-coil it... Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm pretty sure I've got one. How about $5 plus shipping. I'll check tonight when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Argh! I thought it was on my shelf. It must have got packed in my bins. I'm sorry. If no one else can chime in quickly, I'll check this weekend. (That entails moving a whole bunch of stuff!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Oh that was a PITB! Well here it is. Dirty, ugly, etc. I chased every thread. Asided from being filthy, the only thing I can tell wrong is it is missing one of the centering pins, circled in "Yellow Blue". The other pin is circled just in "Blue" as a reference. Are the two "Red" circled threaded holes stripped? The 3 "White" arrowed holes should not be threaded. They bolt through the cover. The new price is $750.00! Anway, here are the pics: Edited May 19, 2011 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51hellfire Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 **** sticks so the one bolt through the bottom hole and the left most is not threaded? ***... That means the block's thread is fubared.... Lame I think just for posterity I might still take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) No worries. Now just heli-coil the block! Edited May 20, 2011 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
