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.

its normal to miss the hole on the oil pump cover
