I don"t know???????
My oem cover was leaky, so I,m going to make a custom aluminum cover.
I got some pictures of my 24gage galvanize pattern and a 11gage pattern I made to se if it will fit. NOW all a need is a 7''x 8''x 2'' thick piece of aluminum and some time..........:eek:

i missed this! looking great so far. i wish i still had instant access to all the tools to do fab like that
 
Looks great, but I am trying to figure out what is going to be leaking on that side unless your crank seal is leaking. Keep up the good work.

This project has not gone anywhere fast..lol.. But now that the motor is out for a piston and rings i can make the pattern better. So i added a new hole to the pattern under the sprocket that was not used on the stock cover. I also fabbed up a pattern for a case saver out of 3/16 thick aluminum.
