Need help Leaky Timing Cover

[Danny Balon]

I have done some research and found this is a common problem for the gts's Vipers. My car is a 1998 GTS with 30k miles on her.
My question is where do i get the best gaskets at the best price and what other gaskets/seals should i replace while im in there? Thanks any other info or tips on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Both mine had to be done it's one of the joys of GTS ownership in the '97's and '98's.
Chuck's done them a hundred times like Plum said.

There is a list of parts that are wize to go in when doing the T-cover gasket:
WaterPump Gasket
OilFilterAdapterGasket
FrontCrankSeal
and... i might be forgettng something else so just call the wizard and he will put everything you need in a box and send it to you

A couple Q's for you:
Are you leaking oil or coolant? Have you had it on a lift to see exactly where the leak has sprung?
Update your profile with your hometown(top left corner "User CP") incase someone can recommend a repatable vipertech near you.

Just saw your thread introducing your new to you Silver GTS. Congrats!
Thats wierd that you went from a Gen3 Viper to a Vette to a GTS...

Two more things to do:
Pin the crankshaft pulle.
Replace the power steering pulley

I bought everything from Chuck who was a huge help to me. That guy is awesome. He sent the parts without payment up front, called to see if I got the parts and gave some helpful tips on the process.
