I will let u know.I have been trying to find out if you need to drop the oil pan to get the timing cover off.no one has replied yet.have heard you need to pull the pick up tube for oil pump which bolts to block inside the oil pan.

I believe the timing cover unbolts right off without removing anything. Just remove serp belt and dampeners then cover. For the 3.8 at least.
