Needs new timing cover. Is this common? How long does it take to repair this? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 6, 2012, 1:46 PM Post #2 of 4 (1678 views) Re: Timing Cover Sign In A bad cover by itself is unusual but the timing cover gasket leaking is not. The problem is after it's driven with the leak for too long, the cover gets all pitted and has to be replaced also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

DIY time is 2 days unless something goes wrong. Suggest you get some service literature before tacking this job yourself, so you know what your getting into and you'll know what tools you'll need. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. gigirl User Apr 13, 2012, 4:58 PM Post #4 of 4 (1575 views) Re: Timing Cover Sign In Ended up to be the water pump and the timing cover. Also flushed the engine, bled the coolant system and changed the oil. Hope that does it for a while.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
