ucw458 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just clean it really good and put some rtv on it when you put it back on. That cover is the upper balance shaft cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Its an oring. If you remove the plate, put it on something flat and hammer it back down it likely is bent and pushed in around the bolt holes. You can use sealant on the old oring there's also tiny orings on the bolt. Tighten back down with your fingers and let your sealant set before you tighten more or you can get a new oring. I seal new orings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickMitz Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 rtv sealant, yes you can get it at any part store for a few dollars. There will be a couple types of silicone gasket maker but the rtv is the black stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
