timing cover removal......

[geonc]

I'm in the process of removing the timing cover to repair a coolant leak at the cooler neck..

Eng is out and on a stand, pan { WHAT A BARSTAGE!} + pick tube removed as well as damper and oil pump.

The small plate cover to what appears to be the HPOP drive bolt is off.............thats where I'm at.

The HPOP appears to be bolted to the back of the timing cover....do those bolts come out as well as the drive bolt----then the timing cover

About my first post asking for help but I' a little unsure of removal.

Geo,

I assume you have seen all of Riches work that he has documented in this thread?

But if I understand your question correctly, yes...you want to pull the HPOP off the back of the timing cover. Ive never done this before, so my description of the procedure may be skewed a little. But, pop the cover off the top of the reservoir, remove the gear from the HPOP shaft, then unbolt hte HPOP and take it out the back and then you are ready for front cover removal.... 4 bolts?? on the front cover?

Rich is the guy for this, he's had his front cover off just recently as have Luke and Terry. Hopefully one of them will drop in here and offer up some words of wisdom. Be patient, it is Saturday.

Ya gotta remove the bolt that holds the HPOP drive gear on. It is behind that small inspection plate on the cover.

It's another water temp sending unit. Yes, we have two of them. One for the guage in the dash and the other one lights an idiot light next to the WTS light. It lights the light when the H2O temp reaches 247º
