Good idea. I'm going into this thinking that removing the timing cover will be a possibility. Easy enough with the serpentine drive (the pump comes out without removing anything), but if I do that, I'll splurge for a new pan (mine is a bit beat up around the sump) timing cover (crusty old Mr. Gasket) and the balancer, which I am sleeving as part of this "under $20" repair attempt.
