The repair on my 1998 Ford Taurus 12 valve engine started out as a timing cover coolant leak. I bought the Dorman timing cover for that repair, just in case the old cover was corroded after 20 years, which it wasn't. Took everything apart, put in a new timing chain, timing gears, timing cover gasket, timing cover, alternator, water pump, water pump gasket, camshaft seal, etc. Only thing I did not replace was the oil pan gasket. Thought I might get away with it. Started the car, and the oil was leaking from the oil pan gasket right underneath the cam seal. There was hardly any pressure on the gasket between the timing chain cover and the oil pan. The flimsy rubber gasket was coming out from between the oil pan and the timing chain cover and it was leaking like a faucet. So, I ordered the best Fel-Pro rigid oil pan gasket for this repair. Took off the y pipe, got the oil pan off, and decided to order a new oil pan instead of putting the old rusty, dirty oil pan back. Finished up the repair with the new Dorman oil pan, the Fel-Pro gasket, and the Dorman timing chain cover. Followed the recommended 108 inch pound torque spec and the recommended bolt tightening pattern, and I ended up with the gap on the left side that you see in the photos. So, I still had an oil leak. Bought another Fel-Pro gasket for $45 and did the repair again. This time, I used RTV gasket sealer in the 4 spots specified by AllData, just like I did with the initial repair, but this time I used the gasket sealer between the gasket and the entire front timing chain cover. I used gasket sealer (the sticky, hardening kind) between the gasket and the oil pan. End of the day, I wish I had cleaned off the original timing chain cover and oil pan and just used them instead of the Dorman timing chain cover and oil pan. I should not have had to use so much gasket sealer between the pan and the front timing cover. End of the day, no more oil leak, but way too much work for parts that cost me around $250 total.
