Question
I need an exploded view of the timing case cover showing all parts, including any gaskets and such between the engine and that housing. I have looked everywhere and can not find that particular schematic view. Hope you can help.

Answer
An engine gasket makers parts manual or the factory parts book would probably be your best bet. My standard answer to any question that starts with "where can I find.." or "I am trying to find..." is to get hooked up with Hemmings Motor news. It is the leading classified ad book for the old car hobby. Check them out at www.hemmings.com.
