Long story but the two holes in the timing chain cover for my Bronco project would not line up to the oil pan. In the old days I would have just taken a grinder to the oil pan and used a couple of hard washers. I decided to go a different route.
This is how it lined up before doing anything.
I decided to drill the holes out and tap them for 3/8" I then turned a couple of aluminum studs and used red Loctite to secure them.
Moved over 78 thousand and drilled and tapped for 5/16"
Since I have not made a machinist jack yet, I through this together so I could complete the timing chain cover project.
And this is how the holes lined up when I was complete.

That's why we have machines . Good fix .
