[QUOTE="peterg, post: 12057, member: 446"] Howdy Michael, If you're referring to the one below, appearance is deceptive, these cases were absolutely virginal, that is a cosmolene like coating of old oil and shop dust as the timing cover had been sitting off the machine in a shed for over 35 years after the ATD had acted up. Only reason I can think for that opening being chewed up is someone trying to adapt another charging device to fit those confines. All dimensions taken as one define a pretty narrow range of accomodation and even sever misalignment of a D6/E3L here would not foul anything. There are a couple of ways to seal the drive. Big Sid liketo lay sealer behind the oil slinger against the case and let dry to close the gap. I use a product sold by NAPA which is wrapped around very high temp lines like a/c condensor lines. It is sold as a flat band tape 2 inches wide with wax paper separator and is a rubberized tar that holds its shape and when heated with a hair dryer adheres to any clean surface. I kneed up a ring around the inside well of the drive on the side facing the generator drive, then slowly press and rotate the generator against it till I get the correct drive sprocket offsets and tooth depth on the chain ring.
