    I bought a timing cover here on the board. What is the sequence of checks to determine if it is usable? Thanks everyone! Mike

    Oil pump gear pocket. No scratchy. No pits in water area. Flat ware oil passages mate to motor. Stick on a clean oil pump gear on pin in the housing. Should not see big gap at end of gear and cover.
