well for the few minutes i heard it run it sounded a little tougher lol, the idle was real low and the timing was off so it didnt really didnt sound normal. but the car was under a car port so the exhaust resonated all around and sounded nice lol.
well this afternoon it got real nice outside so i went out and tore the engine back down and got the timing cover off.
its amazing how efficient you can get working on a fox. ive worked on mine so much, i had a complete motor capable of running and had the whole front torn down and the timing cover off in around 2 hours, its pretty neat, i know what tools i need and etc hehe.
i think the reason i had the leak was i a used the wrong silicone, i used the brown crap. it wasnt really even set up, i pulled some out from inside the cover and it felt like play-doh. i got a new timing cover gasket set, i will clean and prep everything and seal her back up and hopefully have it back together as fast as i got it apart.
BTW are you suposed to use silicone on the timing gasket?? i always did, but the install sheet with my fel pro gaskets didnt say anything about silcone. the blue or black stuff really seems to work well i think i will use that.
i'll keep you all posted.
