I am just putting the timing cover back on and want to make sure everything is correct. I had a brand new timing cover with new optispark and crank gaskets installed in it. Used a felpro cover gasket on the outside along with a little bit of ultra copper rtv on the inside and outside of the seal. Also put just a little rtv in the corners of the oil pan gasket also. Now the optispark only has around 2000 miles on it, and the 2 seals on the shaft looks good. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing any other seals? Thanks.

 

Aren't there 3 seals in the timing cover?

Crank
Water pump
Opti

?

 

Oh yea, the w/p seal is blocked off because of the electric waterpump.

 

What did you use to block that off?

I need to do that too mine as well with my elec WP...

 

I ground the back of the timing cover flat and used two washers, a nut and bolt, and some ultra copper RTV.
