Timing cover with the head off
I did my timing chain about a year ago and I screwed up the cover and the seal between the head and the timing cover and I'm finally fed up with how much oil it leaks so I have taken the head and timing cover off and plan on putting everything back together correctly with fresh seals and a rv cam.
My question is, what order do I put it together in. Timing chain then cover then head or head then timing cover?

Is the unit attached to the timing cover other than the water pump the oil pump? If so I took it apart and need a reference on how the gears go back together.

the oil pump is behind the crank pulley. other than the water pump i don't remember anything else being attached to the timing cover aside from the bracketry for the p/s pump and the alternator.

be especially careful with the seal - i HIGHLY suggest getting a high quality speedi-sleeve. well worth every penny! the cheap ones that come with the fel-pro gasket kit are horrible...good luck.

Make sure you can see the little arrows on the gears of the oil pump. They dont have to be lined up, just make sure you can see them. That's a message from Ted at engbldr.com. He said they are directional. If you can see them you have them in the oil pump housing correctly.

I don't think I quite follow. The timing cover has a seal that goes around the crank shaft and then the oil pump case has a O-ring that seals it to the timing cover case
