Plugging hole in timing cover left by E-wp. Alright the car is coming back together but before I can put the water pump on I need to know how everyone plugged the hole that's in the timing cover left by removing the waterpump drive. I bought a 50 cent 5/8 freeze plug and it was too small, I don't know it they have an 11/16 there or not. Anyone else run into this?

Welp not really an option atm b/c everything but the wp is back on the car...I wish I knew someone with welding capabilities or else I would've done it when I had it cleaned and painted.

i've been told by multiple people they have had it for years and no problems one guy said he JB'd in a quarter and its been like that for 5 years.... If it looks like it's starting to crack at all i'll pull it and find somewhere to get it welded..
You can also use the old seal. Just cut a piece of thin sheet metal and use the seal to hold it in place. Otherwise, the half doller trick works well. I use "The Right Stuff" to hold it in place.
