Tr3A #11 timing chain cover

After receiving the tensioner from TRF, I installed it and using hylomar gasket seal I replaced the cover.....
only to find I forgot to install the cotter pin.
so off comes the cover and I reinstall the pin then back on the cover.
took three times as long as it should have, but taught me a lesson.
The good thing about hylomar is it is forgiving because it doesn't set up & doesn't harden.
otherwise I would have had to rescrape the seals and start fresh.
i'll find out if the seal is good when I remount the water pump, fan, alt. & rad. & re flush the engine.....hopefully by we'd next week.
