I'm putting the timing cover back on my SV 1725 engine after a rebuild and I'm trying to determine the correct location and orientation of the 4 bolts and nuts that attach the timing cover to the engine mounting plate. I took several pictures during disassembly and kept everything separated out, but the PO didn't do a very good job of using the correct length hardware or orientation of the bolts.
According to the part manual, in section AA, for part attaching the timing cover (Timing Cover is A64 in the parts manual) to the engine mount plate, it lists one of 5/16 x 1" bolt and three of 5/16 x 5/8" bolts. These go throught the holes in the timing cover that aren't backed by the block and are fastened with lock washers and nuts. The 5/8" bolts fit great, but I can't determine were the 1" bolt would go. This seems way to long to use. Is there something that is supposed to be attached to the end of the bolt, and if so, which hole does it go in?
A second question about these bolts is their orientation. Are the heads of all of the bolts on the front of the timing cover? I ask this, because one of the top left bolts (from the front) was installed with the head behind the engine mounting plate.
As a last question, the parts manual also shows a part called a "Collar-Timing Cover Screw" (part A66 in the manual). I don't have anything that looks like a collar and have no idea where it would go.
Thanks,
Mike
