The large hole in the timing cover is about .050 off center high (the crankshaft is low). It is an aftermarket timing cover and an aftermarket crank. The block has been line honed if that matters.

So - I was wondering what is the best way to fix this?

Thanks in advance



This tells me the problem is with the aftermarket timing cover , what brand is it ?

As Road Hazard said you need to move the timing cover up.
