Hello, folks. I had recently discovered an oil leak on my timing cover. It turns out to likely be cracked, I had been searching online and had called various local junk yards, and had not been able to find the timing cover. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the direction of a source where I could find a new/used one. My engine is the 88' 2.6L.

Welcome to MR50. Try Car-Part.com. You want a cover from a rear wheel drive vehicle (mighty max, Ram 50, montero, raider) with the 2.6l engine.

Here's a FB post from someone near Seattle who has engine parts including one or more timing covers. Might bve worth contacting if there's nothing near you:

I have a front cover from an 89 2.6L. I was going to rebuild it, but it was too far gone for me to justify. PM me

The front crankshaft seal might leak if the PCV valve is dirty or plugged..!
