How long of a job is it?

About 8 hours for the gasket. Well thats what it said on the program at my work (shop)

Winner! I just did the exact same job on my '92 with a 302. Coolant definately goes through the timing cover and yes, I put a timing set in while I was at it.

And prolly a new water pump

Yes, I did change the waterpump. He should probably change his as well.

Not bad for a 19 year old I guess :p

Only time I had ever had coolant there was when my thermostat gasket was leaking..

How hard is it to place the front main seal web I have the radiator our the timming cover, gears and chain and water pump, gasket set comes with new crank seal and mine is a bit oily

I just changed the thermostat on my 93 and noticed that the bolts did not seem to go all the way in/tight. so I kept my eye on it and noticed a tiny puddle of coolant on the block.

I am not sure why the bolts are not setting right, but I pulled it all back off and put a couple washers on each mounting bolt and put it back together. That did the trick, the mount is now tight to gasket and block, no more coolant there.

I had the same issue as well. I also did the same thing.
