The guy that worked in my car sometime ago (replacing timing chain) broke the gasket, now I just got done replacing the chain again and the timing cover (top) leaks because is missing that section of the gasket....taken apart twice and still leaks :cry:


He made work with a lot of RTV, I havent been that lucky.......still leaks...other than that (gasket missing round piece that goes on top of timing cover) theres nothing damaged
