Engine Block 2 Split Cover

thingiverse

I ran into a problem with the engine block cover designed by Eric for the EJ20 Cutaway model, and I'm not alone - at least one other user experienced the same issue. The front connecting rod bolt was striking the cover when running, causing it to prevent the cover from sitting flat during the intake or power stroke. To fix this, I flattened the arc that was making contact, as shown in the photos. This solution may not be the most elegant, but it gets the job done. Eric could potentially remove this piece from the original solidworks file if he has the time and inclination - for now, though, this workaround will suffice for anyone who's bothered by this issue.
