Timing cover can be done without pulling head, but, if you're pulling tranny and doing all the other work, pull the whole thing and you can reseal, the whole lot just as quickly, and you won't be on your knees or bending over it.

working on a 69 4.2 e type, auto, 2+2. Has less than 1k since head was off for valve replacement. Unrestored car, starting to show its aging. Either the input shaft or oil pump seal on the tranny is leaking, and the bigger problem, timing cover/block/head gasket junction is leaking(along with front seal) The oil pan gasket could use replacement as well. Now comes the question, due to the front cover oil leak, the new head gasket, and the fact that the head gasket to timing cover doesn't seal the cylinders or water jacket, if the studs in the head were removed(front underside of head, on cover) and the oil pan, could I remove the timing cover without pulling the head? I am planning on pulling tranny, but with the front cover work(and possible head removal) would I be better off pulling drivetrain? Speed is of the essence, special tools not an issue.
 
Clint, Jaguar had enough problems with the front crank seal that in the mid 80's they brought out a totally new style of seal. It is pt.#EAC 8815 and uses distance piece(sleeve) P/NC 40147 and an o ring PN/C 34065. This is a MUCH superior setup then the usual seal. Any of the normal suppliers will know of this teflon type seal. It will probably run you $50 or more and in my opinion is worth every cent! I've used these since the late 80's in both of our E-Types and it cured all of the previous problems.
