Review on 🔧 Dorman 635-176 Engine Timing Cover for Ford/Mazda Models: A Sleek, Black Essential by Tony Ledbetter

Cover is the same as the OEM except for a few key points. The locating pins that are cast into the top of the timing cover (upper half and lower half of the timing cover) are TOO large (diameter of the locating pins) to fit the holes AND the length of the locating pins is TOO LONG. I had to use my grinder to shave off the dowel pins and reduce the overall diameter. If this step is not performed, the timing cover will never sit flush with the block, preventing you from installing the valve cover over the timing cover. Great price, good quality (overall) but be prepared to CHANGE the timing case cover.
