<p class="MsoNormal">This is a DIY job. Just don’t rotate anything if you remove the timing chain. Chain and tensioner are relatively inexpensive.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would inspect the fan pulley hub surface for any wear. That’s where the oil seal rides. There is a speedi-sleeve available for that. I used one, solved my oil leak.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There is a pedestal that supports the timing cover that is not shown in the factory parts diagram (Moss number is 328-995). When reassembling, don’t forget to put a fibre washer of some sort between the pedestal and the timing cover, since
the washer and nut won’t seal from the outside.</p>

Suspension refresh all done on the 67 4A. Hurray! Now onto various engine<br>
oil leaks on the 72k origi motor. Good size leak coming from the timing<br>
cover and oil pan. Regarding timing cover, what should be replaced after<br>
opening it up? Any tips on replacing front oil seal without mucking it all<br>
up as they say. Planning on a cover gasket and oil seal. Manual says<br>
probably need new tensioner. I'm not a motor internals guy. Doable for do<br>
it yourselfer? I would like to learn how to do it. <br>
Thanks in advance<br>
