Default Re: question: changing timing cover gasket

NO you will not have to loosen the Oil Pan but you may damage part of the oil part Gasket that extends under the timing cover. Silicon or RTV Sealant will repair this corner. Be sure to use a Damper installer tool and be careful not to caulk the Damper. Tapping the Damper with a Mallet over a piece of bored usually ensures the Damper Ramp has mounted the Snout of the crank before applying pressure with the tool.
