I saw this info here just the other day but I'm having a senior moment and can't find it now. I tried the search mod but to no avail. I want to drill and move the two bolts from inside the oil pan to the outside.
thanks

What they do is drill and tap the holes in the bearing cap to use 3/8 X 16 bolts and drill the cam plate and cover to clear the new bolt but for the life of me I can't see why, some say that the larger bolt will change the relationship of the bearing cap, I don't know if it would. Why would you need to remove the cam gear cover and not the oil pan?
