Replacing the timing gasket

A timing cover gasket is a small part with a big job: it keeps engine oil and coolant from creeping out at the front of the block. Because it is usually replaced with the cover off, the work is best done with the cover, timing set and front seal all accessible at once.

Clean both sealing faces until they are bare metal, and make sure the bolt holes are free of old gasket material and oil. Set the new gasket in place dry unless the instructions call for sealant, then tighten the bolts gradually in a crisscross order. Recheck the seal after the engine warms up.

  • Clean both sealing faces to bare metal
  • Clear old material from the bolt holes
  • Tighten bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern

What is the part number and brand of this timing cover gasket?

The part is Crown Automotive part number J3225187, with UPC 848399060041. Check the material, thickness and dimensions against the gasket you are replacing.

Should the water pump be checked when the timing cover gasket is replaced?

It is a good time to check it. The water pump often sits near the front of the engine, so look for seep marks, coolant residue and play in the pulley while the cover is off. Addressing it now avoids another teardown later.
