REPLACE TIMING GEARS?

I didn't have to take the oil pan off when I timed my 200ci, I took the valve cover off and was able to pri the crank sproket off with a wench, was actually very simple. when you put it back together I recomend adding some RTV silicon sealer, just in case.

hello, removed the timing cover, expecting to find bad chain or gears because of loud noise, chain and gears are in great shape, noise was a broken oil slinger, Can i do with out it, or fix it reinstall it in which direction? my manual does not show parts assembly, did not remove oil pan. 8) cheers
Some run without, I most always use them if have it. To me it's hard to install them wrong I guess someone could put one on backwards if they tried hard. 
I know what it does but I haven't seen one, I think... what does it look like and where is it attached?
Here is a good picture of one installed correctly. After the timing gear set before timing cover. Than when the crankshaft dampener is installed and bolt torqued down the dampener pushes it tight against the crank timing gear and front main. 
If it's installed backwards it would make a heck of a noise rubbing against the timing chain :tabu: :thumbdown: http://imageshack.us/content_round.php? ... etando.jpg

hello the oil slinger was un repairable, so i made a new one from sheet metal,coffee can. the oil seal had made a grove in the damper, i brought a gasket set which included a sleeve, following suggestions on the forum, i put the damper in the freezer for about 6 hrs, heated the sleeve with a heat gun, slipped on easy.replaced seal put it all back together quiet smooth ride cheers 8)
Great glad you got it fixed
