hello everyone. Im nearly finished rebuilding the fd block, only problem is the timing cover gasket doesn`t line up properly missing the top right bolt hole completly. When i ordered the rebuild kit i was assured it was for an fd. Can this be bodged or is it normal for it to miss the top right bolt hole.(http://13b%20rebuild%20part1011.jpg-irfanview)
