Well I have my cam corrected and car is running pretty good now but I still am having problems with a leak at the timing cover.I had it on and off two times to get the cam and balancer corrected and it is leaking at the seal to the oil pan.Looks like the only way to change the seal is to drop the oil pan?I don't want to go there because that means pulling the engine which means pulling the trans and a bunch of money for fluids and remflex gasket.The seal on the oil pan doesn't look torn and I cleaned it up as best as I could and put a little sealer on it before reassembly.Anybody got some good tips on replaceint the timing cover gasket and not having it leak at the pan?I hate to take it apart agoin but I don't like leaks and it makes a mess for the front end and oil pan.Granted it's not pouring out but it'll leave a small amount on the floor,more so after running it real hard.I would hate to get oil on my headers and burn this car down.With the way things have gone on this project I could just see that happening!
On a side note,I generally don't name my cars but with the amount of terror this one has put me through (3 years and a lot of time and money) I decided,OK the car decided it should be called KRISTINE after the famous Mopar movie.

SOOOOO much money spent and I keep gettin' told that I could have had a V-8

a little sealer will not do it, remove 4 bolt from pan, 2 back on each side, then remove the timing cover bolt, get 2 flat top stubby screw drivers and wedge them between the rail and the pan just behind the thick part of the rubber timing cover gasket. take the cover off and put a thick bead of silicone both side of the rubber gasket and on the two rails right up to the screw drivers , put everything back pull the two screw driver out , tighten the bolt and it should be fine.

I did a temporary repair 6 years ago,still doesnt leak,I cleaned the front area real well with carb cleaner then blew it dry,I swear by The Right Stuff by Permatex,I put a nice layer over the front joint.let it dry overnite,was going to re do it correctly after I got back from my trip,but it still doesnt leak so I have left it alone,over 10,000 miles ago,The key is to get the area clean and use The Right Stuff,its worth a try,,mine was leaking pretty bad,I use a wet finger to smear it in,Mark
