Cracked Clutch Cover
09/03/23 at 01:09:39

Hey guys, noticed a small crack in the clutch cover today during reassembly. Worth fixing or replace?
I thought it was just a scratch but when torquing down after fitting the new gasket I hear it make that dreaded 'tink' sound.
If anyone has a spare cover they'd sell and ship to Australia please let me know. Would rather buy from you guys than eBay if the price is right.

It's the passage that connects your oil pump discharge to the oil filter, so there is significant pressure involved.

Something had to be installed improperly for there to be stress on the cover and the resulting crack as you tightened the screws. I believe you should use this cover to discover the issue - before you try to install a replacement.

I just thought it was a scratch. It does look like the cover was dropped at some point near the crack. That or it was over torqued with a badly fitted gasket.
