Hello guys,

Does anyone have an extra bolt lock for the front 2 timing gear cover on a 235? Mine has one of the lock tabs missing.

Thanks,

Kevin

Should be very easy to make one. They are just flat sheet metal of a specific thickness and with holes in the right places.
Making parts like this is what makes me smile while working on old vehicles.

If Loctite had existed back in the 1930's when that basic engine was designed, GM would have used it there, too!
