RB Timing Cover R&R - Cork Gasket

You can usually get the pan off of a truck without much trouble, especially a 4x4. Trucks have WAY more room to maneuver than any car.

Same here , I even bent my cover up trying to compress that cork piece. I ended up pulling the cover and pan , and straightening the cover and re inforcing it in the weak places , it had the stiffener for my roller cam button welded on in or I might have just switched.
