oil pan or timing cover

I almost have all my parts :!: so which in your opinion would you in stall first; oil pan or timing cover? the engine is still in the waggy if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.Bob

You need to install the timing cover first. It's VERY difficult to get the front oil pan seal in correctly if you install the pan first. Bob tufcj

Ditto!!

Make sure you have a good bead of sealant in the corners - been my nemisis for leaks.
