WizardBlack Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 While in the process of tearing my L apart for the first time and poking about, I noticed that the coolant and oil passages in the timing cover have some pretty wicked casting flash or sprue in them. The outlet channel from the water pump to the block has quite a bit that could be smoothed down. Some of the lips were almost a 1/4" step. There was also a slight ridge in the ~75* angle that was machined for either the oil feed or return from the oil pump (didn't bother to check which). A good 15 minutes with a slight grinding tool and some hand work with a file, etc. seemed to smoothe everything quite a bit. I know it isn't going to be a major impact, but I thought while I was in there... Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
