Hi all, new to the forum, i have to replace the gasket below the timing cover and the front of the sump
Do i have to drop the sump completely or is it possible to replace without having to do that
Any advice appreciated
cheers steve

To do it properly you need to remove the sump completely. It seems strange that it is leaking, has someone over-tightened it & destroyed the gasket or has someone had the timing cover off without removing the sump.

It's common for back-yarders to pull the timing cover with the sump in place.
It can be done more easily if the locating dowels in the block are removed. Care though is needed to ensure it seats well and locates accurately if you do this and it's still not the best way.
HQ racers do it to play around with cam timing while keeping the motor in the car. |

Replace the welsh plugs while it's out, including the rear (but not the one at the rear of the camshaft). Use either brass or stainless steel, don't use the original mild steel type. A post above suggested removing the locating dowels at the timing case, not a good idea. The dowels are there to accurately locate the cover, making sure the timing cover seal is at dead centre.

One last question, i believe on the original 202, there was a thin plate that fitted below the carby, is this a vital part,
I may be wrong but i think it is a type of heat shield, thanks again for any help
Hope you all have a great long weekend cheers steve

What model series is this engine from. The ADR27A carbies (July 76 onwards) had a heat shield.

Hi Dr Terry, well its all a bit complicated, i asked about the history of the vehicle today.
She said it had a commodore motor in it, her ex put the 202 in but had to put the inlet and exhaust manfolds on the 202 so the exhaust system bolted up.
The carby must have been removed during all that, because i found the shield in the car boot last night, hence my query.
Not too keen fixing someones shoddy work, but its my ladys car, we do what we do, appreciate your advice cheers steve
