i have my engine on the stand right now, im noticing someone put a NA front cover on it and drilled a hole for oil to make it looke like a turbo 2 front cover. im not really confindent in it and i would like to replace it with a turbo front cover.
the problem is the motor was just rebuilt (o miles) and it has a tight end play and i dont wanna effect that. will replacing the front cover affect it? i will put motor with flywheel (already torqued on)facing down and front cover facing up to ceiling. is that ok? and then when done retorque front pulley.
