The plate is still available from Ford, hafta look up the part number. If you don't get the right timimg cover gasket, fix the hole, or goop up the wrong gasket, you're in for a leak eventually. I tool sillycone & completely filled in the hole & trimmed it with a long sharp blade, I used a Wolf knife. Anyone that's been into one & looked at the reliefs in the timing cover knows what I'm saying.
