Timming cover problem....

[HRDROKN]

Installed my pump today and found the pump shaft hits the timming gear access cover...... so how'd I screw this up????

:what:

I had to take a break from frame and suspension work... so I worked on the timing gear cover and the clutch master cylinder actuating rod....

:Cheer:

Put the beef-up ring on the outside and weld it tight.

Sorry guess I should have made those instructions more specific.

Make your cover out of thicker material and turn an indentation into the center to clear.

I don't see how the beef-up ring will clear the pump gear if it's mounted on the inside of the cover.

I made one a few years back like that and it cleared even with an adjustable hub.

Thanks for the idea chris I will look into it.

UPDATE:

The ring clears the gear when installed on the inside...

Modified the cover to fit over the pump shaft/nut...

:Cheer:

Looks like the cover grew a belly button! LOL

Looks real nice man.
