Oh and to cap it off went and put a couple of gallons of fuel in. fuel gauge showed 2/3rds full. then today doesn't work at all. Thought voltage stabiliser but temp guage is fine? also connected up wires at sender which normally makes gauge go to top, nothing? Oh well at least I have plenty of time. But I really really don't want to take the dash out because its an absolute Ba$Wtard.

I've got the MED alloy timing cover and engine front plate, they are very nice but pure luxury and not something is needed so long as your timing cover and front plate are in good condition.

I agree the MED cover is expensive and a luxury but it does look good. My real concern is taking the timing chains off and then makings sure I don't disturb or get the cam timing correct putting it all back together?

Pressed steel timing chain covers aren't very rigid. use a straight edge and or glass plate to check the cover and back plate for flatness, pulled threads etc. Clean both parts thoroughly. On reassembly, fit all the fasteners barely touch tight, fit the pulley to centre the seal. Then gradually do up the screws alternating from side to side, similar to a head gasket. The torque required isn't much, use a torque wrench if possible. A sealant may help, but don't over do it.
