Timing cover wont go on, tips needed! Well the cam is in and its tim eto put the timing cover back on. im unable to get the thing back on. i did it like shbox ( without dropping the oil pan and just making sure to NOT rip the oil pan gasket ) and now im unable to get the stupid lil ***** back on there.....the gasket is too fat. Now that i have RTV everywhere i decided to stop for the day. Any tips for getting the timing chain cover back on?

OH MANN!! I feel for you! I'm doing the same thing right now and I finally had to drop the pan today What a F#@&ing bitch it was! Now I'm on my way to install the pan with a new gasket.. You might have to do the same thing?? Have fun!

if it comes to it then it does. i got a full gasket set so i've got gaskets. its just the rear main seal i'd be worried about. i'd rather find a solution to my r\problem though. i know shbox can do it.

nvm..i just read shbox's guide. you have to loosen the oil pan enough for the fron to drop. somehow i managed to take the cover off without lossening the pan...man im good. lol i guess thats the first thing im be doing in the morning...i was frustrated this afternoon cause i wasnt execting to have to remove the pan bolts...man this sucks *****...o well!
