well, i called the machine shop. My machinist "had never heard of this happening before" and has milled "hundreds of blocks, with this style timing cover". *rolls eyes*
So instead of completely tearing down my freshly rebuilt engine, i have decided to remove the head, loosen the bolts in the timing cover and "re-center" the timing cover on the seals. Then i used the step down measurement of a dial caliper to determine how much my timing cover was off. It measured EXACTLY .015" (i measured it 3 times) , well my machinist claims he only took .007" off the deck. Im not buying it. so i am just taking my timing cover in, and having it milled down by .015" do you think i should replace the front main and oil pump shaft seals? *they were new before I torqued the head down, but were slightly distorted by forcing the timing cover down*
