No, the front cover is completely different. The front cover actually rests on top of the front portion of the
oil pan. Pulling the front cover will not give me enough access to get to the one bolt that is inside and I am pretty sure the bolt goes into the block. FWIW, the guy I spoke with at Dove today referred to this as their "Can-Am" motor they were building a while back.
The reason I am going through all of this is because of multiple
oil leaks...both halves of the
oil pan, dry sump fittings on the oil pan, and the rear main seal. We were originally told we could pull the pan and gain acces to the rear main which is supposed to be a two-piece seal. Obviously, it is turning into a bit more of a project than that...
With everything that would be involved with trying to just shift the motor around it seems to make more sense to pull the motor out and make sure we get all of the oil leak sources sealed properly.
Thanks again for all of your help,
