"Study" Probably a fat finger and you meant stud. I do those occasionally or the PY spelling deal does it for you and you do not notice.

But back on your "Timing Cover Ring" around the stud or bolt deal.

To make that work you need to counter bore a precision pocket for the ring to sit in.
Not a big deal with the machining except you now created a "step" in the cap hole in a very high stress area of the cap. Much easier to use a normal longer dowel register and be able to finish hone the hole for a very smooth bore and no stress risers vs the step in the cap deal.

Food for thought. This is not a timing cover.
