So helpful. Two Dodge dealerships told me the only gasket for timing cover is that top triangle gasket. Pissed me off that the dealership don't have it and either oreilys.
Ya crazy got same answer at advance auto. Yet the number he gave me is available.
Hey, I know this is an older video but I wanted to say thanks. Using the earlier timing cover gasket, even though its more expensive, is so much easier and less leak prone that just squirting silicone over the whole thing. I just completed this job and it worked out great. Nice work!
Glad it helped
Did you use the orings? Or just the gasket? Or the gasket comes with the Orings?
Just realized if that gasket leaks coolant internal it could be misdiagnosed as a head gasket since the coolant will get into the oil . That would suck .Thanks for the tip and the part number man!
no problem
I just did this on my sons 2007 ram 1500 4.7. I bought both the metal gasket set and the 2nd design gasket set, for them both from amazon because they were half the cost of the parts stores.
After pulling the cover off, I see that not only is it the flat faced timing cover, Dodge only used black RTV as the sole gasket material.
After replacing the front oil seal, I hung the metal and silicone gasket on the locating dowels and just slid the timing cover back on and secured it with the top stud until I placed the other bolts in.
The hardest part of the whole process was removing and installing the ac compressor and alternator.
I did change the oil after because the block and the timing cover holds a lot of coolant and some did spill into the oil pan.
Timing cover is dry for now and I’m hoping it will stay that way.
Also, the 4600 gasket kit comes with the water pump gasket, thermostat gasket, oil seal, and two others that I don’t know where they would go.
Nice video it’s always nice to see what you’re getting into before doing the job, Thanks Thumbs up .
Thanks so much. I knew I could do it but you gave me the courage!🎉
I was successful. Just one afternoon. Not too bad at all!
@@SpearFisher85I hope it’s not too hard for me, I’ve been wanting to do this job on my truck but I’ve been a bit scared 😓
This gasket actually works great stopping any leaks, but I have found that it puts the crank/harmonic balancer pulley too close to the bottom bolts of the cover shredding the rubber off the back of it. I used the gasket on 05 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 4x4. So I believe the issue is clearance when using this set on models later than 03. But still easier to install and lasts.
So you are saying anything 2003 and newer dont use?
@aguilaleon100 I'd say use it and change out harmonic balancer to a more sleek, thinner design to avoid clearance issue. That is what I ended up doing. Been fine ever since going on 5+ years now.
Same here bro. Thank you for your video!
Welcome 👍
Your awesome
Why would advance auto online says that gasket number doesn't match my 2005 Jeep Grand cherokee limited 4.7 v8? Yet amazon says it does lol Crazy shit! UPDATE: Ok Jeep Dealership said that after like 2002 they used only rtv from the factory. So they don't list a gasket for that year. But he said the gasket you told us to use will work. Mine just had brittle rtv pieces on inside edge that fell apart easily. Amazing it didn't leak worse! I had lots of oil leaking out around the bottom and coolant leaking inside the oil pan.
happens all the time ... wen in doubt buy from the dealer
@@FalconsGarage posted update up above. You had it right! Thanks!
Can oil leak from this cover? Thought it was valve covers but with inspection mirror looks like it could be front cover
Do you need to drain the engine oil when doing this? Of course you need to drain the coolant, but wondering if you also need to drain the oil, or is the oil only down in the pan therefore no need to drain it?
Thanks and great video!
I would suggest doing an oil change after doing this to make sure there was no coolant that got on the oil by accident
I have 2005 4.7 jeep cherokee the cover looks the same the dealership gave me the same o ring set but almost impossible to install. Do you think if i used that gasket will it damage my cover
Will this gasket set work on the 2011 Ram 1500 4.7L as well?
I replaced the driver side valve cover gasket on my Dodge 4.7 because I could smell heated oil in the cab and it looked like the gasket may be leaking. There's still oil coming down on the frame underneath the driver seat frame area so I don't think the valve cover gasket was the issue. Could this be the intake manifold gasket or the timing cover gasket leaking?? Are there any hoses that could be cracked and leaking oil? Just trying to find out of some ideas of where else I can look for this leak.

Did you have to use the miller 6635 tool on this? Or would you recommend how you did it? I’m reading that you have to use this tool to align to cover so it’s concentric on the crankshaft.
Hey bro i have a 2006 dodge charger rt with a coolant leak i have the water pump replace but it didnt fix the problem im thinking is the timing chain gasket i took it to the a shop and they found some white stuff like mayo in the oil cap they told me the heads where bad or the head gasket you think if the cover gasket is bad would leak coolant to the crankcase and show up like a blown head gasket thanks
Wait so those 3 gaskets holes you replaced are just for coolant?
yes
Do you happen to have a diagram in what order to remove the bolts? How about what puller did you use to remove the Crank pulley?
GW Smokey you can see the bolts order at 1:30 ... and as far as the puller it’s just a 3 prong puller. Nothing special.
Hey will this fit on a 07 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7
By any chance, did there happen to be any dry white coolant residue on the drivers side valve cover when you took everything apart?
no, sorry
@@FalconsGarage
Thank you for letting me know!
I had a machine to tell me if its lenkin from the timer cover it would be oil & not cooling, but to me its wet like cooling & not oil
Mine was leaking coolant from the top of the timing cover, under the ac compressor and the alternator, and oil from the front oil seal. It was soo bad it was collecting on the crossmember and thermostat housing.
Will that TCS 46000 Gasket Set work on a 2007 4.7L vin code "P" flex fuel Jeep Commander?
U think this gasket kit will work for a 2007 Dodge Ram 4.7
Might. But I would double check with the parts store.
I have a question. Sorry this might sound stupid but did you use any rtv? If so, did you put the rtv around the whole cover on both side of the gasket?
no didnt use any rtv
Did you have to use the three o-rings along with the whole gasket? Also, did you have to use any RTV sealant or did you install it dry?
no I ended up buying a different gasket set.. because doing the 3 "o"rings its just too hard .. and yes I used a little silicone
So, you used the FelPro 46000 gasket with a little silicone and it worked? Or, you bought a different gasket not shown in the video? I'm asking because I have the same type of FelPro 46000 gasket and I'm not sure to use silicone or not. Plus in addition, mine came with two o-rings and the little triangle o-ring too but I don't think I need to use them. Thanks for the quick response.
thats the one i used.. but mine ONLY came with the gasket that goes all around and the front main seal ... so only 2 items on the box
Has that gasket still held up till now? I'm about to do that gasket on my buddies 07 nitro with the 3.7 but where it's not the original gasket setup I worry about him having issues with it down the road
truck hasn't come back for the same issue .. so I think its still good
Hey bro have 3.7. Same timing cover. How often have u seen a timing cover warp?
never seen that happen
The idot at napa didnt believe me. Kept telling me timing cover had nothing to do with my coolant leak. I had bought a water pump but when I went to install it I realized the water was coming from the timing cover. Did you use any sealant when you replaced the gasket?
I ONLY use sealed to keep the gasket in place.. besides that there is really no need for it if it has a gasket
Hey brother I'm working on the same thing and i used the big metal timing chain cover gasket, but do i install the extra Orings too? I got it all back together and itll have a small leak later on through out the day.
There should be no need for the 0 rings if you used the metal gasket. Is the leak coming from there?
@@FalconsGarage I had the same problem,. I didn't use the o rinds with the gasket also
So do you use the orings with this gasket ? Because the kit I got came with the gasket and orings
The kit I got just had the gasket but no o rings , now I got leaks, I guess you do need them
Could those seals being bad behind the timing cover cause coolant to get into the engine oil?
Could it yeah. But not likely
yes it will allow coolant to enter the oil if it leaks on the inside of the timing cover around the water ports, it most defiantly will.
@@davidrhine8562 took to a shop. Their telling me. There is a coolant leak out the timing cover going onto the ground. Pondering stop leak? Also saying they believe the oil sump may be plugged causing lack of oil pressure on the passenger side thus causing lifters not to lift & rocker arms to pop out. Mechanic said it's common issue with this engine. U heard of this?
The springs in the lifters collapse and then the rocker arms start coming off. I replaced all 16 lifters in my sons truck last month. It’s not hard to do, just a pain in the ass. I suggest taking the brake booster off the fire wall, it’s just 4 nuts and a clip and will open up a lot of room on the driver’s side.
so I like the video but the part where you were telling us what you put around those two holes on the side goes completely drowned out by the wind. So I have no idea what you were saying about those two holes
Look at the 1:45 mark .. i talked about the gasket .. so the first gaskets i bought were no good
hey do you have the part number for that whole gasket? I got the same exact issue on my 4.7L in commander.
felpro #tcs 46000 is on the 1:50 mark
Thank you buddy! Have the seam leak, i am just hoping its not my head gasket ( no sysmptoms of one ) i hear its common area that these leak on top of that Cover.
I am working on my 2008 Aspen 4.7 I cannot find the torque value/specs for the bolts. Any one could tell or post what is the torque for the timing cover bolts. Please and thank you.
58 NM or 43ft as per prodemand
I’m doing a 07 Grand Jeep Cherokee with the 4.7 and it’s cover only had RTV sealing it. Would this gasket work for using instead of just RTV?
it should
Hi
I needs the top gaskets
Will that gasket set fit a 2011 ram 1500 with the 4.7 liter?
probably not .. but i would double check with a parts store
