timing cover again

[fiveohhfox]

well i just replaced my timing cover two months ago and then last week i was leaking anti freeze i couldn't figure out from where the timing cover has a hole in the top i don't know how it was brand new i ordered it from 50 resto i spent almost 100 bucks on it what would cause this to break i know the first time i broke it cause my motor mounts snapped and the fan pushed back but why now?

Damn, is everything else ok? Something must have hit it or it was a defect or something. I would call them and ask if anyone else has had problems, may be a bad batch or something...

what you do now is cover the outside of it with tape so if does happen again you will be able to tell the path from which the damage was done

the tape wont hold water will take it rite off cause wen ur timing cover goes u leak water

any chance it was over-torqued when you installed it?
