Oil leak question
I have a oil leak at the lower right corner of my timming cover. When I replace the gasket do I need to remove the head as well as the oil pan, or can you get away without removing the head? Ive heard some remove the head some dont. Thanks ahead of time

The only thing you need to remember is to install the oil pan last. Oh, and remember there is a somewhat hidden bolt that connects the timing cover to the head in front of and below the cam gear. When you install that bolt be aware that the torque is very low (like 9 or 13 ft-lb from memory, but look it up) and too much torque on that bolt can crack the timing cover.
Good luck.
