Hi Again this time its the timing chain cover R&R . The Reason is someone broke one of the Timing chain cover long bolts off and siliconed the broken bolt back in the hole, Imagine that ! So my question is I cant get a factory timing chain gasket set and I will probably have to do the oil pan Gasket also as they are all connected together SOOO I can get Fel pro or Mahale gaskets Has anyone used these gaskets and had good luck Or any other suggestions and any mods that need to be done.

I replaced my timing chain & gears back in 2011. I can't remember what brand gaskets I bought but I think it was Fel Pro. There was a groove on the harmonic balancer shaft too so I installed a repair sleeve on the balancer shaft. I replaced the rear main seal too which lessened the leak but did not completely stop it. The next time I have the oil pan off I will perform the "Rear Main Seal Oil Leak Fix with Bearing Cap Modification" posted in the Help section https://6364cadillac.ning.com/forum/topics/rear-main-seal-oil-leak-fix There is a preferred seal brand to use for that in the article.
Be careful with the bolts in the aluminum front cover, They do stick & break off fairly easily. Use penetrating oil, heat, etc on the stuck one. A replacement front cover is hard to find. Be sure to inspect the oil pump gears & housing for excessive scoring. Replace & resurface if necessary.
Good luck.
Thanks Tony By the way does this have a nylon gear for timing chain
I have been using this for oil pans for about 10 years and it was recommend by a friend that was working for Toyota Racing team it is by far the best I have ever used I use it on everything now. I clean the surface with brake clean and then let the brake clean dry off and apply this . you can get it on amazon
Tony 2 questions my engine has only 61000 miles on it did it originally come with nylon gear. #2 ,do those 2 studs that are in the front of the pan can they be removed using 2 nuts jammed together or are they pressed in. Also I am Having a hard time getting that front cover off,
Yes and yes. They are just threaded studs and do the 2 nut trick all the time to remove them.
Awesome Thank you some one has welded the entire exhaust system together
Ok Thanks
Thanks Kurt

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
