Hidiety Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I am currently attempting to replace my crankshaft seal. After finally getting the pulley off I discovered that the metal plate behind the pulley has been damaged. I can't seem to find the name of the part to try and find a replacement though. I don't have it off yet, had to stop and eat something, so I don't have a picture. It covers most of the passenger side of the engine, is thin metal, and is held in with a variety of different sized bolts but mostly 10mm. I really just need to get a manual at this point.

5rebel9 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Being that this is a new thread, you should have included that this is a 3.5 motor, otherwise members would have to track your other postings to figure out what you're looking for. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that I'm pretty new to this forum, I did look at your member profile info (before responding) and all it gave was YEAR, same as your posting sidebar info......... Same as my profile info showa, yet I know I entered that my '11 was an AWD 3.6 I didn't post to complain at you, just thought a quicker response to your request for info would help with that engine size info in it. Good Luck! EDIT: I just went in and edited my profile info to show motor and drive type....Easy fix for any that have the same situation. As can be seen now on my sidebar info...it now shows up.

Good to know that that info doesn't actually show to everyone though, so thanks for that. 5rebel9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidiety Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have learned the name of the part. It is called the Front Timing Cover. Also, the "damage" I saw, turned out to be a drain port of sorts. I thought the thing had been bent by a prybar but I was wrong. The drain is needed on this engine because the timing and water pump are in the same housing. So if it ever leaks the coolant has a place to go. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
