Well....it's either fix this somehow, or rebuild another block...which I don't have the time and money for...
I've got it tore down. With the iron totally broke off and in the shape it's in, could it be possible to just put some black oil resistant RTV on it instead of gaskets and re-install? It's got a nice surface, but how will it react to torquing? If I torque it, what's to keep it from slowly forming around the broke area?
I can't figure out how, unless it was coming through the HG, and why the oil was getting out like it was.
Just prior to me installing the particle type(flake?) HG, I did spray it off with break parts cleaner and did remove some type of layer that was made into the gasket. Could it be flowing from between the particle layers of the HG?
Timing Cover: It does have an area for the gasket to go, but around where the bolt for the TC goes in is fawked...
