IMS bearing cover identification

[Jamesp]

Do you have an O ring on the cover? They leak. You can use sealant when you install your bearing cover to minimize the chance of an oil leak. Apply the sealant to the bearing cover (not the block) inboard and over the O ring. When you install the cover the sealant will provide the seal the O-ring lacks. If you put the sealant on the block, the cover will just push it into the block. Make sure all surfaces are cleaned with acetone before applying the sealant and assembling. My 2cents
