Timing seal

On the 2.8 V6 does the timing chain seal pop out from the front or do you have to pull the whole cover off and pop it out from the backside?

Both. The Haynes 82-92 Manual shows both ways. I changed mine when I replaced my timing chain, and I did it the easier way- with the cover off the engine. Doing it with the cover on the engine needs a special tool (or some tricky work).

I belive you have to take it off and remove it from the front so it comes out the back side of the cover
