Trivia Question 7 - Front Engine Cover

[Jason Edge]

In addition to serving as the front engine cover, the 1963/64 Cadillac front engine cover also provides mounting for several other engine components. Who can list them out for the cigar? 

[3ft7bqmb7dryo]

oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, distributor, and the harmonic balancer, but it is not an accessory and it mounts to the crank.

[Jason Edge]

Russ has 4 of the 6 I am looking for. Who can name the other 2?

[Jason Edge]

Oil Filter brings us to 5, however the front cover provides mounting for one other main engine component.  

[Jason Edge]

Nope. Fan is mounted to water pump which Russ has already listed.

[Jason Edge]

Just to add, front cover actually provides full mounting for 2 more engine components, one bigger, one smaller; and it provides partial mounting for another engine component.  Looking for remaining main component for cigar.

How about the timing marks?

[3n49omug8n28i]

Water pump crossover? Power steering pump?

[Jason Edge]

Nope, Nope

[Jason Edge]

Robert, that is another function of the front cover, however it is an integral part of the die-cast cover.  I am looking for other engine components that mount to the front engine cover.

[Robert Alan Shannon]

OK ,how about the oil fill tube cap?

[Jason Edge]

Robert you got it! The oil filler tube is the last main item which the front cover provides mounting.

Also, the front cover provides mounting for the front engine seal, and partial mounting for the oil pan via the front 2 lower studs and nuts. Needless to say, the front engine cover serves many purposes!

Hey! Hey! I finally won something, a cigar, after 58 years! I don't even smoke...
