The book shows to put timing cover on half way. Over shaft of damper

But I have had no problems putting timing cover on.not tighten . Then using long bolt turn it on

If using rope seal best to get it started
Like Packard shows. I am using the updated neoprene one.. So I lube it up with timing cover on loose so it can center..

Pulling it off get behind the damper on the part that has the rubber..center.

Again long bolt and screw it.off..

Put the key in ..leave little over crankshaft to make it easier to line up.

I think the bolt is 3/4-16..thread..

Oil slinger..put timing chain on. The slinger. It lines up with key. You won't over tighten..torque 150 lbs

Look on here for shop manual..it will show you..if h..posts. He will have diagrams.

But just search this site Kevin has it easy to look things up.
