How to service the timing cover on Chevrolet Corvette?

The servicing process of a Timing Cover starts with air intake duct removal and air cleaner assembly and then moves to crankshaft balancer removal. The service begins by emptying the cooling system followed by heater and Radiator hose removal from the Water Pump. Start by taking out the Water Pump combined with its bolts and gaskets. Avoiding damage to the Oil Pan Gasket is essential when you glide the front cover/gasket across it. After removing the front cover-to-engine block and front cover-to-oil pan bolts you should separate the front cover from the Oil Pan while discarding the gasket. Clear the front oil seal from the crankshaft that resides inside the cover. Then dispose of both parts. To achieve correct crankshaft front oil seal positioning during installation you must use the front/rear cover alignment tool (J 41476) to position the seal squarely with the crankshaft. Seal the engine block to Oil Pan interface with gm p/n 12378190 sealer to a 5 mm (0.20 inch) thickness before securing the new front cover along with its gasket and bolts while leaving them finger-tight. Use the j 41476 tool's tapered legs to place them onto the machined alignment surfaces on the front cover. First position the cover at the pan rail by tightening the Oil Pan-to-cover bolts then install the crankshaft balancer bolt until it meets initial resistance. Tighten Oil Pan-to-front cover bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) while the front cover bolts require a torque of 25 nm (118 ft. Lbs.). After extracting the j 41476 from the front cover's surface position the front crankshaft oil seal in its place. You should install the crankshaft balancer followed by a Water Pump assembly along with gaskets and bolts. After connecting hoses to the Water Pump you should reinstall the air intake duct and air cleaner assembly followed by filling and inspecting the cooling system for any leakage.
