Re: 6daze project
I got the timing cover installed. I used a Felpro gasket set 45449. It included the timing cover gasket and a new crank seal. I drove the old seal out and used a "special tool" to drive the new one in. Anybody recognize it?
I sprayed some High Tac sealer onto the gasket and cover, let it set up a couple minutes and stuck them together. Then I carefully trimmed a little off the gasket that was not needed.
I backed most of the oil pan bolts at this point so I wouldn't have to push the pan down as the cover went on.
With the block scraped clean I set the cover on and started a couple of the lower bolts. Next I put the balancer (I am using stock one) back on the crank to help center the timing cover.
With the cover about in the right spot I attached the water pump. Again using High Tac and the gasket from the Felpro kit, I let them set up and installed it on the cover. I torqued all the bolts to about 15 ft/lbs.
I included a pic with all the bolt sizes for the timing cover and water pump ( all bolts are 5/16").
