Can I replace timing cov gasket/water pump W/O pull radiator
So i need to replace all the normal gaskets that are replaced when doing a cam swap as I was lazy and now they leak. (Timing cover gasket, crankshaft oil seal, waterpump gaskets)
Do you think I can replace these without pulling the radiator/ac condenser?? I know I'll have to drain it, but I'm wondering if there is enough clearance to just pull the pulley and then get at the seals?
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Can I replace timing cov gasket/water pump W/O pull radiator
...it is easier to remove the radiator, however, since you will need to get a gear puller on the crank pulley...
I suggests that you also buy a longer bolt to help replace the pulley...
