Fried my starter (starter relay sticking burned it up) and replaced the cable/relay/starter while upgrading to a PA Performance unit. In doing so, I noticed my timing chain cover has a provision for a mechanical fuel pump - but the provision has no cover plate.
After a brief freak-out, I stuck my finger in the hole and noticed it was blocked off as if it were cast without a hole. It's also bone dry, I assume if there was a large hole in the cover I'd have a little oil leaking and have a some idle/drive-ability issues.
Has anyone seen this? I admittedly didn't investigate much as I was wrapping up the wrenching for the day, but can get pictures next weekend when I'm back working on it. Just curious what exactly I have. If it's some cheap aftermarket cover I'll grab an OEM one and swap them out when I have the front of the motor apart.
