Don't forget to inspect the cover. Mine had a hole in it from a thin spot in the casting.

Mine was in an engine overhaul set. Someone may have extras in their kit and just not realize they are in there.

A few more questions. Hardened flat? or lock? Washer Is there a good way to protect the main journal from chips during the tapping process? Should I use lock tight on all the threads? Greg

You're correct. Mine are attached to these bolts that replace 4 of the main cap bolts. I just measured the hole depth and found that there is plenty of room to tap them longer. That may be the best option. Thanks for you imput. Greg

They bottom out in the hole leaving the bearing cap loose.

Almost a 1/2".

I purchsed a set of used windage tray bolts for my 318 and they seem to be to long. I'm not sure what to do. If I cut them off I'll run out of thread on the top. Could they be for a big block? Any suggestions? Greg

David, Thanks, that's exactly what I need to know. I am going with manual steering so I won't need to worry about tapping the holes but it' good information to know. Now my only problem is finding a waterpump pulley for a non power steering motor. Thanks again Greg

I picked up a 318 out of a 68 to put in my 72 Dart. Can I just change the water pump and timing chain cover and be OK? If I change the timing chain cover , how will it effect the ability to adjust the timing?
