It has them on the passenger side but my concern is the driver side.. Do I just re-use the other thing?

I have the 2 bolt tool...any tips for not dropping the bolts when I remove them?

Aren’t you doing the timing and balance chains at the same time ? Won’t need the tool then.

Yes, do the timing chain and balance shaft chain that tool can result in an over tight tensioning of the balance shaft chain

Dang...ok I guess I'll order that stuff. Any links to a complete kit you would suggest?

Water pump stuff too. I don't like how the "duralast" from AutoZone for $80 is Chinese. I think I'll take it back

As far as the motor mount, I undid the 3 bolts on the right side...when I undid the middle bolt...the motor moved down a lot...so I tightened everything back up. Is there a trick to moving the motor over for better access?

The pump in the picture is a good one, metal impeller. Some others have a plastic impeller. Don't discard Chinese just because, kindof racist. Cheap American is crap.

Ok I'll keep it. Am I just going to use the existing cover and gaskets that go on the propeller side?

You must support the engine with a floor jack and a block of wood under the oil pan

that won't damage the pan? How high can I lift it? It sure would make it easier to work on that side.

That's what the chunk of 2X4 is for.

You want to lower the engine to get the one water pump bolt out, then you get better access to the front cover bolts. Take out the upper engine mount and the bracket there are 3 18 mm head bolts
