SO here's a random tip for all of you car people out there. Learn from my stupidity and struggle and when you're putting a timing cover on a Ford 302 motor, install the front bottom bolts first, and THEN the oil pan bolts. I fought that sucker for 2 hours before I learned that 'order is key to your sanity'. Doing it the other way just isnt going to work. Trust me. I hope I used enough RTV That is all.
