Timing chain repair gone horribly bad RESOLVED
Anyone addressed this before? I pulled the timing cover today and the upper right side mount came out in two pieces. It's been destroyed due to the lower bolt having come out and the spacer and ramp have just been flapping around.
No problem I thought, order a new spacer and replace the ramp. It's not going to be that easy though:
The lower bolt hole is welled out, you can't thread a new one in. Should I drill and tap? Or is this a lost cause?

All done finally. Moral of this story was to buy a complete gasket set next time as I found myself on Sunday without a thermostat gasket.. So I made one.
Anyway some 20 hours later here is the cause of my oil leak, don't know what mechanic did this but he needs to surrender his tools.
Sure is quiet with all new chains and rails, short of shocked me at first.
