Four years of leaking coolant is finally getting to me. Does anybody know of you can get the t/cover off without removing the p/s pump? I see that the p/s pump is attached to the block with two studs, that might also attach the timing cover or water pump. Book time on the water pump is 2.0 hours, and the timing cover takes it up to 5.9 hours, and the p/s is +.2 hours. I'd rather not have to remove the IC tube(s) if possible, and I remember back when I did the head gaskets, I had a biatch of a time getting the p/s pump off. Chris B

THERE ARE NUTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT BRACKET. JOHN

Heh weirdly i Have EVERYTHING in the trunk of my '89 to do the Timing chain cover gasket, even a near New OE timing chain cover and oil pump.. (the later i'm kinda scared of) I just need to get my ass moving aswell and do it.. along with making up a new T-stat housing or something.. since even it leaking is starting to piss me off (3-4 times i've tried to seal it, and it still leaks.. even left it for like 18 hours to Dry before putting antifreeze back in) Too many cars.. too little time to go around and fix all the little things that are on them all..

If i remember?? Still planing this myself.. but i always get new projects that push other projects behind.. that and i just give up easily "Turning seems to be a lost form."
