Be sure to have a large tray & a pan. I tried removing engine block drain bolt but wouldn't turn. Was afraid of it breaking. Though there is no place for gaskets that I can see on my Jeep 2005. 4.7L. Just seeing some old brittle remains of gasket material along inside edges.

    Martin, I have a dumb question, on my 2008 Dodge Dakota 3.7 V6, on my leaking timing chain cover gasket, do I need to use gray silicone even though the gasket material (paper/asbestos?) has an elevated rubber seam that runs around the gasket permeter? If yes, do I put the silicone on the inside or outside of the rubber seam? I've been watching your excellent videos, I'm doing my lash adjusters & rocker arms, too! Phil

I really did not want to remove the radiator and condenser out to do timing chain guided and tensioners. Or do you recommend taking out the radiator and condenser? Do you know where I can find that? Or do you remember the list of parts so that I can pick those up at a local machine shop? Thanks in advance.
