Which comes first the bolting on the timing cover or putting on the crank pulley? It seems to be a battle either way!

You didn't mention the year of the engine. If you are using the rope seals, we install the pulley first after soaking the ropes at least overnight in motor oil. If you install the later after market modern type seals, the pulley goes on after the seal is in place. With those, you put the pulley in dry. Those seals actually seat by pulling material from the seal and embedding it in the pulley shank seal surface.

1948 Engine using Ford rope seals. Put the soaked seal in the timing cover and drew the pulley on with the bolt. It seemed to unravel the seal a bit but is tight, and looks good

According to the shop manual the pully goes in first then the timing gear cover is installed by just starting the bolts with the bottom wedged into place and a mallet is used at the top of the cover to drive it down and to seat the cover rope seal. When the cover is low enough to go into its position, tighten the cover bolts to spec.

A creature similar to the chicken laid the egg, and a chicken hatched out. This gradually took place over many, many years, of course. Richard
