Something else I noticed today, Am I to understand that the head cover and crank case cover have to be removed to replace the gaskets on the front cover? Hilton

Yes, and there is no gasket on the main timing cover - it's metal to metal with sealant.

I just fixed a leak right at the timing cover/head/cylinder junction with this stuff:

http://www.permatex.com/products-2/product-categories/adhesives-sealants/sealants/permatex--spray-sealant-leak-repair-detail


Works a charm if the leak isn't from a pressurized source, and you can get it spotless clean. I spray it with brake cleaner when its hot, wait until it cools and clean it again. Then put at least 2 coats of the sealer on, with a respectable amount of dry time between coats. A PITA, but easier than taking apart/resealing.

I couldn't get the spray rubber sealant off of the shelf here , so I cleaned it with brake cleaner and used some clear automotive "Goop",, Seems to have worked for now
