THe only time the bolt eats into the timing cover is when I torque down on it to turn the engine over to attach the flywheel bolts. It will torque to 25 ft pnds no problem. I plan on using the long bolt to bottom out so I can turn the engine,then use the short bolt for the damper.

It's weird but the old timing cover was ate up. It had a lot metal ground off around the seal area cause of it. I know it was the same on it before I tore it down cause, 1. the ate up seal area, and two, I tried to turn the engine before and it just kept turning and turning. It took a lot to make it turn, but it did turn and the engine never did.

I have not taken mine apart, but it seems strange that the pulley/damper assy does not rest solidly against the crank and the bolt just squeezes the parts together without drawing the pulley against the timing cover.  Seems like something is missing between the pulley and end of the crank or the crank end was machined thinner. A longer bolt may bottom out but then the pulley will be loose
