Sounds like your mechanic screwed up. Make him fess up.
Take the cover off and do it over, use some gasket sealant on both sides
(especially around the bolt holes) and pay attention when you put it back
together. Permatex #2 is my favorite.
The screws are for the holes that seat in the front plate only. They worked
until the engine was rebuilt, right? So if it was done right they would still
work.
What a pain, right?
