Take a good look at your balancer for any rubber sticking out. Replace your front main seal too.

The balancer was repalced 5 years ago with a SS Ford racing balancer. Good call on the front main seal.

You should get a new waterpump for sure. Its one of those $20 parts that causes you big headaches down the road if you dont change it

Removed the water pump and timing cover tonight. Looks like I am gonna have to pull the motor out completely now cause as i was removing the timing cover part of the pan gasket stuck to the timing cover and tor the ruber. Was realy hopin to til the motor enought to pull out the old cam and drop in the new one and swap out the motor mounts. More pics below.....well got a new camera and the files are to large to upload.

When you buy a timing cover gasket set, it will come with the front section of the pan gasket that the cover goes over. You just trim the old gasket off up to the block, put in the new pieces and you are good to roll....no need to pull the engine.
