Timing Chain Cover

[Jimamiah]

@Joflewbyu2 ... It is not an oil bath type timing chain. I did have a very small amount of oil come out, maybe less than a teaspoon. If you take the lower cowl off (4 screws and 2 pins) you can get to the edges of the cover. I loosened the center access before removing the plate. An 8mm socket will loosen the bolts around the edges and I lightly pried the lower left edge with a large flathead screwdriver. Be aware that there is a sensor attached to the inside of the plate with a 10mm socket it can be removed. I have read that some disconnect the switch at the connector but I chose not to disrupt the connection. Many said that it was tough to remove the gasket but I found it came off rather easily. I ordered a gasket and it arrives Friday and the shop will have my cover finished Friday as well.

Thanks for the reply. I might just buy another cover and replace mine. I thought it might be more like an oil change amount.
