[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16639525, member: 35549"] 1) The oil has to go somewhere when you're compressing the pistons. That being said, $120 now will save you the chance of having to tear into the motor later on. It's a bit of a PITA to pull the timing cover off with the motor in the car. I speak from experience on that one. 2) Use a scuff pad to clean the surface. If the surface isn't flat you can put a piece of wood under the flange and tap the other side with a hammer to straighten it out. Had to do that with the valve covers I ran on a 351W. And don't forget the RTV at all the seams. I forgot that once. [/QUOTE]
