I got mine off yesterday, but I have a few questions. Was the quality of the mold really bad? I see lots of little stress cracks in it. They don't go all the way through, but it looks kinda bad. I also see them on the cover of the oil pump gear. Again, none of them go all the way through. I put the cover against a flat piece of wood, and it appears to be straight, but hard to tell. I had a MASSIVE oil leak from the front cover. The two oil pump o-rings looked pretty crushed, so I am thinking the link was there.
BTW, what kind of idiot designed the front cover. There are more gaskets, seals, (Places for catastrophic failure), than ANY engine I have ever seen. Not to rant about my little b14, but man, that oil pump in the front cover / water pump pumping through the front cover is just plain stupid. :thumbdwn:
