datzenmike Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yes but there are two small bolts (10mm heads) on either side of the front of the head going down into the timing cover. One of the water pump bolts goes through into the front of the block. Crank pulley must come off. Distributor and oil pump must come off. There is a bolt behind the oil pump that also has to come off. Loosen the front and a few side bolts on the oil pan. It should be free to take off. Quote Link to comment

I did all of that and it doesn't want to come off its stuck on good. The thing is I have to take everything back off to put the tensioner back on and put it on time I had it wrong Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Stick a wooden hammer handle in the dizzy or oil pump hole and pry forward on the timing cover. You may want to run a butter knife along the head and oil pan surface to loosen the gasket. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 The head gasket above the timing cover doesn't have to contain any compression from cylinder firing. It only has to seal in fumes and oil spray from the chain. You can cut out any damage and use an old piece of used head gasket or smear some RTV on it. Same with the oil pan but they are cheaper so cut out the damaged part if there is any and seal it up with RTV. Quote Link to comment

I was try to take it off the why you me tell me too but I stoped the cover was fixing and I didn't want to brake it but that's the why to take it off right? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I didn't say to break it. Remove everything and loosen the oil pan bolts half way down each side. Try tio slip a knife between pan and timing cover to separate the gasket. If it gets cut it's fixable. Try to pry the timing cover out from the bottom. There are a couple of very small dowels to align it up against the block. Once pried forward and off these it should drop away from the head gasket. Here's the back side of the timing cover. (oil pan would be at the bottom) There is a dowel down by the oil pump, thumb, and one up behind the distributor, little finger Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 a few smacks with a rubber mallet usually takes them off. I hit the dizzy mount most of the time. Quote Link to comment
