Default Re: 101 Timing Question

A thin round spring was on the end shaft off of the crank when I removed the timing cover. Something to do with the main seal?

Also the flat disk on that shaft by the timing gear .... Does the curved edge go toward the engine side??

Another website mentioned caution about burning out the main seal. Any special prep or lubrication I needed to do when I put the timing cover on?

I know that the oil pump gears needs to be packed with Vaseline ... Any other considerations?

Any tricks to taking off the timing chain?

Thanks!!!

Does this help? I got the photo from the interweb. It's a 390 though.

Do you mean the washer behind the timing gear bolt? That goes on with the bowl side toward the engine so it acts like a lock washer.

The thin round spring? I think you mean the oil slinger. It deflects the oil from trying to leak out the timing cover seal.

Make sure you grease up the timing cover seal (wheel bearing grease is fine) so it does not burn up without lubrication when you start the engine back up.
