Remember on an LA engine when reinstalling the timing chain cover to install the balancer before tightening up the bolts on the cover/WP. You want the seal to be centered on the crank snout.

If you don't disturb the cover when replacing a WP you don;t need to worry about it. But those long bolts that like to seize up and snap off I mentioned above will require removal of the timing cover to fix.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
