bearbalu Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I punched a 1 inch hole in front outside timing cover while trying to remove crank pulley (using PB blaster later made it much easier!) Is epoxing back the plastic okay ? Or should I get a new cover (30 odd bucks). Since the hole is right near crank pulley, would epoxy come loose over time....I guess dirt won't be a good idea inside timing belt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 It should be worth a try. I would use the epoxy putty. Rough up the surface first with some rough sandpaper. Clean it off, then form the repair with the putty. Should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can you make the existing hole round and put a rubber plug in it? It would functionally become an inspection port? I looked at doing that on my Trooper??? Ended up not having to Good luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Most plastic stuff on cars nowadays is ABS. You can get some ABS cement at your local Home center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 The Dealer broke the t-belt cover where the bolts go in on my 95 Legacy...they used a black rubber like glue it looks like. It is on tight and all is well. Should have made them replace it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
