Re: Jim's 1976 Ford Granada

So I decided to go for the complete Fel-pro deal, including the installation tool. I found the best price for the timing cover and oil pan gasket sets at RockAuto, and the best price for the repair sleeve installation tool at Summit. While I'm waiting for the parts, I'll clean up the mess around the timing cover and all the crap that was blown back along the bottom of the engine and elsewhere. Then I'll jack up the motor a bit and remove the oil pan, then the timing cover, then clean the gasket surfaces. I'll see what the timing chain looks like, too. That should keep me busy for a while.

Timing cover set w/ sleeve - TCS45660
Oil pan gasket set - OS30217C
Tool for sleeve - 16310

Looks like NAPA is cancelling my spring perch order, they don't carry it or ran out or something. I tried ordering them both at the counter and online. Looks like I'll have to move on to Plan B.
