timing chaing cover replcement
Anyone have any ideas s to how to replace a timing chain cover on a 225 /6 without removing the oil pan? The problem I have is that the rubber gasket on the cover base is too thick to compress enough to make the locating dowels line up with the holes.
I posed this question on the slant six forum and received answers from people who felt that the pan had to be removed and someone who said he removed and replaced a cover without removing the pan.
Do you think using a thinner rubber gasket would work?
thanks

They are thick for a reason. You may be able to lower the front part of the pan though and get the cover on. The AMC V8 motors are the same way and that is what I was able to do to get my new cover on after I broke the old one.
