Okay, I have done all the research, but still have a quick question. When reinstalling the timing cover, is it totally neccessary to cut the rubber oil pan gasket? That makes me a little nervous. I have not had good luck with any type of cork gasket. I would think that I can just put some rtv in the corners where the rubber pan gasket meets the block and timing cover. I would like to reuse the existing oil pan gasket. Is this possible?

It is a one piece rubber or is it a paper gasket?If it a one piece,then I would say put rtv in the corners and on the "hump" (were the crank snout goes throu).If it paper,do what is says and cut it flat and get another paper/cork gasket and rtv on both sides all the way.

I was nervous too when I cut the one piece and just rtv'ed in the new pieces, but it's been several thousand miles and no leaks (knock on wood).
