Wish I would have watched this before before I tried to figure it out on my own as I went along. Now I got Niagara falls in the front of motor. I got two quarts of oil sitting in my cross member
To get it looking new you need to drench in wd-40, and scrub with Brass wire brush. Then degrease it well. Then hit it with aluminum cleaning acid mix. Muratic acid and water can work. Or get some alumna-bright, aluminum acid cleaner used to clean big rig wheels and tanks. Spray on, and brush lightly with plastic brush. Hose off within 20 seconds. Keep hitting the aluminum with the acid mix till you get an even finish. If you leave it on too long, it can turn a bit dark on you. Rince really well and blow dry. Clean gasket surface with brake clean and install. Once installed, hit the intake lightly with silicone spray, wipe it in. Clean porous aluminum will stain easily, but if the pores are already clogged with silicone spray, well there you go! Also, spray down your carb base gasket with the same spray. Turns them into not stick!

Would’ve be nice to see the cover with the tabs cut-off (before-after) photos and show how you actually installing it.

Thanks for the advice
I just did this to a 79 Camaro but used the original cover
what i needed to see was cut out some good info still but still searching
great tips
What type of silicone should be used ?
Did that fuel pump fit? I've never seen one like that on a sb chevy
How does that fuel pump lever fit in the block?
It doesn’t have to. It’s not a Chevy fuel pump.
How do you keep the intake looking like new? I have a rebuilt FI unit and needing tips to keep it nice! Thanks

You didn't even show the viewers when you were putting in the cover

Why so people say you have pull the oil pan lol I didn't have to even loosen it I have a 305 97
Some of the pans and timing covers are shaped different, especially the ones with 2-piece timing covers.
Why the fuck would you even think you need to remove the fucking oil pan??
Why not film the install ? Waste of my time .
I totally agree! Worst how to ever!
How do you install the timing tab?
