Re: How to change gasket: Timing cover I6-250

68, Yes, I know what you mean about smacking stuff. (A 12 lb sledge was my go-to tool back in the early seventies when working on tanks, lol.) I cannot do the tapping at this time, though a bolt would make it all easier. Also, I do not have a real lot of space to work with; the engine is in the truck- I just took off the fan and the radiator. Hopefully, with a piece of wood to cushion the blows, a heated balancer will go on with gentle taps. I think I will do the water thing. Surely, I should not have to go into these gears again in my lifetime, knock wood.
