Thanks Tom. Forgive my ignorance, but could you explain what you mean by "selective spacer"?

All I want to do is change the timing cover gasket to fix an oil leak. With the exception of this damper, the cover is free and clear, but if the motor has to come out, so be it. That seems an awful lot of work to go through though, and I can't imagine that's what the engineers at Packard had in mind.

I've honestly thought it may be easier to simply pull the cover away as far as possible to prep the two surfaces, slide a gasket in, and bolt it back together. It would certainly work, but that cover is about the only part of my engine that's messy and poorly painted. I'd really like to get it off, cleaned thoroughly and resprayed.
