Title: Timing cover Gasket Post by: Dave Lakin (Davo Lako) on July 29, 2021, 04:21:01 PM I'm re-fitting my timing cover and would like to know what is recommended ... just the gasket, or gasket and goo, or just sealant, or a combination... what is best for a good seal?
Thanks in advance, Dave. Title: Re: Timing cover Gasket Post by: ardiesse on July 29, 2021, 07:50:15 PM Dave,
You can use a hardening gasket cement to glue the gasket onto the front engine mount plate. The bolts tend to "dimple" the timing cover when tightened, so a good idea is to un-dimple the bolt holes. Use a small hammer, with a 1/2" socket on the outside of the cover . . . you get the idea. Similarly with the reinforcement piece. I lightly grease the cover before assembly. If (heaven forbid) I have to take the cover off again, the gasket doesn't stick to the cover.
