Reply to "351C oil dipstick tube"

I got my POS dip tube to quit leaking and then I found out I had another slight leak coming from the lower driver side of the timing cover. I elected to remove the engine to see what was up cause it looked to be doable with engine in but a pain in the ass ( 2 hours and 15 min to yank the engine. ) I found the Speedmaster timing cover I bought was defective ( the name should be Leakmaster ) The radiused seal holder welded to the cover is missing a small section of material that should mate with the block and support the seal. I wish I would have looked at it closer when I assembled the engine. One more hard lesson to learn, so I will not by anything with name Speedmaster on it ever again. Don't make the same mistake I did. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
