Need*

 

[La Hot Rods]

No it's not necessary.
It does make it tough to get back on without having the front of the pan down a little.

 

[Maxhawkins28]

Ok cool ill try it out.

The oil pan has a 4 piece gaskets, two rubbers front and rear, then two cork gaskets on either side, the timing cover gasket is one piece, if that is what your asking?

 

[Maxhawkins28]

No I am needing to remove the timing chain cover and don't really want to have to remove the oil pan since its all sealed up .

 

[Iowa409]

ah, got ya, I know its an extra step but I recommend removing the pan to see what it looks like in there, and when you do seal it all back up, at least you have all new gaskets instead of one you fought with, oil pan gaskets are only $17-20. just my thoughts.

 

[Maxhawkins28]

Well I just put new gaskets in hopefully I don't have to replace them lol

[Maxhawkins28]

Its at tdc looks like its off...

 

[La Hot Rods]

What key way are you using on the crank gear?

 

[Maxhawkins28]

The 0 mark
.

 

[Maxhawkins28]

 

[Maxhawkins28]

Hmm that does look like the wrong key way huh

 

[Maxhawkins28]

Looks like I need the other key for the crank I'm on the square not the o on the crank dang...

 

[La Hot Rods]

With the square key way you use the square dot. this would be retard.
The key way with the rounded top you use the round dot. this would be straight up.
The key way with the pointed top you use the triangle dot. this would be advanced.

 

[Maxhawkins28]

Yep we just used what was on there so I need to get a new key if I want to run it on time then.

 

[La Hot Rods]

No you use the factory key.
You just have to use the corresponding timing dot by the crank gear tooth to go with the center key way.

 

[Don Jacks]

It looks like ,on the picture with the chain installed,that you're a tooth off.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Looks like they used the retard key way and then used the straight up timing O dot.
