1958 235 Chevy.
I just got done doing the timing cover lower bolt conversion and then test fit it to the plate and block. I noticed that three of the bolts/screws for the cover, when tightened down will push the timing plate away from the block and will then cause a leak. I removed the cover and plate and found it to be three of the bolts, that behind them is just a small "dimple" behind the plate into the block. The bolts that actually thread into the block do not cause this issue. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what was your solution? I'm using only 1/4" bolts with one lock washer. I know I could just stack some more washers, but would like to keep it uniform. Suggestions?
