Once the cover is trimmed you will need to put the center into the pan first then push down, against the pan, as the cover is rotated back toward the block. You will likely need to use a tool to lever the cover down as it approaches the alignment dowels on the front of the block. It does work. |
Thanks for the advise. I'm going to try remove the dowel pins from the block which should make it a little easier to slide down onto the front of the pan. I will also checkout the link you posted above. I'm picking up my new balancer and timing chain cover today. Hope to maybe get to the install this weekend.
