Head alignment problems

[ted]

Hi all,

I bought a 4g32 and i pulled it down and replaced the timing case but now the front studs are out of alignment by about 5mm!!
I thought all chain drive 4g32 timing cases were the same can anyone enlighten me?

what car is it in,what year is the motor. and what year and car is the replacement cover for. also are any of the bolts bent but that shouldn't cause a problem as the head has to fit over locating pegs. also measure the thickness of the cover i.e. back of oil seal recess to bench top do the same for the original and compare the measurements and measure bolt hole centres to gasket face on both and compare. hope this helps if not the extra info may help someone else help you
