In June 2017 while getting my tach adapter put on I noticed that I was leaking coolant yet again. I had just had the water pump replaced but this time it was coming from the timing cover itself. In order to take off the timing cover I had to take off all the puly’s, the water pump the radiator, the front grill, the bumper. It was a lot of work that as I am writing this is still ongoing. I also found that a head light was cracked so I am also waiting on that. Determining the right gasket set was a little difficult as my engine seems to be made up of a lot of different year parts. For example my water pump came from a 70’s (D00E-D). The timing cover is RP-E5AE-6058-FA, Top timing cover sprocket E3AE-A3.

Once I got it all back together the pressure was good had a tiny leak on the water pump but after I snugged it a little more and added a missing bolt I didn’t notice till after all worked well.
