Timing cover pitting.

[chorty55]

woof. i'd be looking for a new/used one.

such a pain in the dick to do that job if it goes all sideways. ounce of prevention and all that.

Passenger side timing marks. Seems rare.

Actually, now I'm confused. Some searching is telling me I should have the metal shim and bolted on passenger side for timing marks.

Mines actually casted into the aluminum on the passenger side, driver pump inlet.

Cover must be removed to replace crank seal.

I don't see covers like mine, they're all driver side indexed. I wasn't looking forward to spending money on a balancer tailored for a different cover

just remark your balancer to coincide with the new cover marks, pretty easy.

or buy a new balancer for $100 (yours is probably pooched anyway)

If it comes loose I'll just try and center it and weld it together. Did that on a Chevy tracker 4 banger. I used welding rod stubs for equal shims all around center.

Redline it often @ 6500.

Pre 70 SB all had pass side timing marks

You need corrosion inhibitor. It............stops corrosion. If you in a climate where the block can freeze, then you CI + anti freeze.
