sealed oil pump bolts

[scott thomas]

I bought Permatex non hardening sealer yesterday and pulled the front
timing covers off. What I found was the three upper oil pump bolts
were missing. I'm nearly positive I didn't remove (at least) all of
them. Maybe one. I think it's possible the p.o. had omitted two
bolts. I did cut the cover apart, so I really can't tell what the
story was before. So, I added some globs of the sealer to the upper
oil pump mounting bolts, the one inner water pump bolt, and the two
for the lower timing cover. Seems the leaking is gone after a few
miles.

Now I know.
