Just bought a new timing cover for my 67 GS 400. It came with a rubber seal in a metal housing, which I like better than the rope seal cause I can never get them installed right so they don't leak.
Anyway, the new seal does not go into the new timing cover at all. I have a seal driver kit but am afraid to whack it too hard cause the timing cover is aluminum. I cam bore it out a bit with a dremal tool but wanted some opinions first.
The timing cover is a Pro-Form cover i bought off of Amazon. It was 250.00 so maybe it is not the best one I could have purchased but i am on a budget and married. If I were not married i would have 20 cars that don't run and would live above the garage so marriage is a good thing for me.
Thoughts on boring out the timing cover? I also ordered a new seal just in case the wrong seal came with the cover. It is one or the other and in either case, Pro-Form's quality assurance is lacking.
