madhakish Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Was working on the steering pump and while taking the belt off I noticed something seems to have broken off a casted part underneath the pulleys.. thoughts on what it was? It would appear I have a slow oil leak running to that point as well judging by the small drip forming..

Precise1 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure that is a weep hole, from the bottom timing cover? I'll look tomorrow when it is warm and light. I'd guess a crank seal leak, unless you have a bad cam seal leak. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks like someone forgot to put the bottom bolt back onto the bottom of the timing cover. It's the one without the black rubber washer on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93pathyfiend Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks like the bottom of your oil pump that the lower timing cover bolts to. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mine is like that too. It happened when I was hammering s socket onto the stripped bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Make sure to change that front main seal while you're in there. The only extra thing you'll have to do is pull the crank gear off which is easy with a screwdriver. The seal itself takes 2 minutes to change and costs like 5 bucks....Do the cam seals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 and my lower crank wheel came loose as well? I actually zinged a crank pully off a KA hardbody once. You shoulda heard the bang when it hit the skid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebayfish Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I broke that too. Its what holds the last screw for the timing belt cover under the harmonic balance. Its the only one that uses a shorter stew. If you put the longer bolt in & tighten your harmonic balance down, snap goes the metal. I like to think it helps oil & debris to was out from around the timing belt now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If you have any 'washing around the timing belt' going on, I feel bad for you... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
