Timing Cover Gasket Replacement

Thanks guys !

I was thinking of using Gasket-Cinch [sp?] on the timing cover's gaskets and water pump gasket , with black hi-temp RTV on the oil pan tabs ; good call on filling any voids in the pan's end tabs with the RTV .

Thanks to fishy68 for the torque specs and the confirmation of cross-torquing the bolts .

Thanks to MVRCorp the head's-up on the RTV applications(s).
I've not had any problems with cork , either ( I know you said that you do , and you're not alone ) . I think that cork gaskets are commonly mis-applied , vis-a-vis people using either too much ( too thick of an application ) silicone , or just plain using it ; valve cover gaskets being the prime example .
However , those pesky intake rail gaskets do require a certain amount of RTV , especially a liberal-amount at the rail-gasket-to-head junction .

Anyone know why 318's , et al. , have such a verocious appetite for intake gaskets ??
