Tonto Papadapolous
Got the dampener off. I bent the cheap-a** bolts that came with the dampener puller, but it is off. Also removed the backing plate. I will have to remove the oil pan. Now I see what you mean, Ben. At the least I would have to remove it to get the front part of the gasket in place.
The gears were metal, thankfully, and the timing WAS installed as original factory.(4 deg retarded). I did get the timing to TDC before I pulled the dampener, and both dots on the crank and cam are lined up dot-to-dot.
