Re: How to change gasket: Timing cover I6-250
Since you had it all out, I would have also replaced the timing gears. Looks like that camshaft gear has fiber outer ring and they do tend to strip. I've had them do that before.
If you haven't done it already: when replacing the harmonic balancer, it's best to heat it up before tapping (or whacking) it in. I boiled mine in hot water for several minutes and used leather gloves to handle it afterwards.
Use an old pot and after you get it to boiling bring the whole pot and water to the engine. Just be careful you don't get burned.

Reason: Remove "chain" word. Force of habit. Sixes have no chain.
