Guess you haven't heard of the cam bolts backing out. Whatever, I was just saying what I would do if I were in your position. Good luck.

What, that washer deal the guy has been advertising for aligning the front cover? No, because your oil pan hasn't been taken down. Just some RTV for the corners at the bottom and some red loctite for the cam bolts (if you didn't already have it on there.)

It really isn't necessary to check out the timing set as most people have pointed out. But after seeing the damage from a cam gear bolt walking out, I'd check it out.

The seal was cut up and destroyed. I have it all back together now.
