I=E2=80=99ll go back to the original question.=20

I converted to the thin fan belt, harmonic balancer pulley, no fan and =
went with an electric fan integrated in a Wizard aluminum racing =
radiator on my 1960 TR3A, and I don=E2=80=99t have any timing chain =
cover leak.  I used the gasket, along with some Permatex Black being oil =
resistant.  No issues.
