thanks so much!

my apologies, I was referring to the front timing, cover gasket, the one that surrounds the timing and balance chains. The gasket itself has a bolt hole that goes through an engine mount bracket bolt. There is a bracket affixed to this mount that I had to remove to take the gasket off, but I still ended up bending it . ordered a new one and read somewhere that Oldblue snipped this bolt hole off of the gasket, so he wouldn’t have to remove the bracket !
