Timing Cover Gasket Replacement

I'm having to replace the timing cover gasket set on my 1972 318 , and am wondering if there's anything to *watch* for ; any tricks or tips .

The prior owner replaced the timing chain itself ( yes , the motor holds timing just fine ; doesn't jump-around or anything as such ) just before I got the car 6 years and 50,000 miles ago .

I'm needing to replace these gaskets for the simple fact that a few leaks have sprung up , because I've had to replace 2 water pumps
( the one that was on the motor when I got the car took a dump 4 years ago ; its replacement took a dump because the shaft popped-out of the bearing ; the newest pump is 10 months old and is working just fine ).

As I'm certain you're aware , removing the water pump that frequently causes the timing cover-to-block gasket to weaken and possibly tear ; that's what happened with the one on mine :book: .

Never-the-less ...
It's been a number of years since I've even removed / replaced the gaskets on a small block MoPar ; and due to age , time and other variables , I've forgotten torque specs , what adhesives to use
( Gask-a-Cinch ? ) , and whether or not the harmonic balancer needs to be removed for access .

Thanks much for your time and considerations .:drinkers:
