Have you done rod bearings on yours? That missing bolt has already done, like, 1/512th of the procedure for you, so...

Hope that the new gasket solves the leak. It's pretty common for that piece to warp.
Options also include over torquing it to the block, but that's highly risky with aluminum. I'd almost recommend preemptive helicoils.

Edit: And now, from what I can gather, that part is NLA because the manufacturer wasn't willing to continue making it at relatively low volumes (still hundreds at a time). It was available roughly Aug 2016 - early May 2017. Never mind, I guess. |

I've heard that, but none of the 3 oil filter housings I've done have had any warp to them, and none of them have leaked after the fix (granted Matt's isn't back on yet, but the flange is flat).

I guess it helps that you have the ability to actually check for flatness.

Hey, so do you want the subframe bushing tool back? I tossed the shipping label with your address.
