here is the link from amazon to the Gasket I ended up using! amzn.to/2Cb2I28

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.

Nice video it’s always nice to see what you’re getting into before doing the job, Thanks Thumbs up .

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!

Did you use the orings? Or just the gasket? Or the gasket comes with the Orings?

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.

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!

Welcome 👍

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

Can oil leak from this cover? Thought it was valve covers but with inspection mirror looks like it could be front cover

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.

@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.

Will that TCS 46000 Gasket Set work on a 2007 4.7L vin code "P" flex fuel Jeep Commander?

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

Hey will this fit on a 07 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7

Your awesome

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.

Will this gasket set work on the 2011 Ram 1500 4.7L as well?

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?

@FalconsGarage

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.

By any chance, did there happen to be any dry white coolant residue on the drivers side valve cover when you took everything apart?

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!

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.

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.
