Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

Put the new timing set on without moving crank or cam and wound it over a few times and it seemed to line up well as below: (Pic was taking slightly above them, so they look a little out of line in the picture, but not so straight on)
About to put the timing cover and water pump on, what do you guys use/prefer for sealant? I saw a ton of RTV on mine but i saw a lot of leaks too.
For the gasket between the plate the timing cover bolts to and the block i used a copper tack gasket glue just to keep things held while i worked. Didn't have anything on it before and didn't look like it could really leak while there were tight bolts into it.
Lastly, the front seal is just cork that rides in its spring loaded holder? So you just slip it on the crank and put the cover on? Seems like a simple setup, hope it's effective!
