I have a 2008 on a engine stand and another engine in front of it, the replacement engine I was regasketing the front and ending up snapping the bolt on the thermostat housing, Couldnt weld it or tap it out. I dont really want to drill it over size and tap it when I have another timing case on my old engine. May be a simple answer but I want to just pull the timing cover off but noticed there are 4 bolts on top of timing cover through the heads.
I have been watching videos on taking the bolts out but the instructions are unclear and I wanted to take a seat back and look at thing before messing with stuff, I saw one guy just take the bolts out on the front of the timing gears and get a flexible socket extension down to the bolts. If you have to take the bolts out of the timing gears and they just be put back on and torqued to spec. I saw a couple videos say those thin round pieces on the gears need to be replaced. I know if you take the whole cam gears off you need to put in a 3mm drift in the proper hole.
What is the easiest way to just remove the timing cover on the m272?
