Timing cover

[Troysalm71]

I'm checking to see if anyone has any tips tricks anything with pulling the front timing cover. My truck recently had a pump fail. The truck is cp3 converted but the gear just sheared 5 teeth off it an I'm just curious where to go with this check cam gear an pull the front oil pan an find the chunks an if they're all there put it together or pull it apart??

Anyone?

Would recommend pulling the front cover to inspect the cam gear. Will likely need to drop the lower oil pan to collect the broken pieces of the gear.

Thanks is it a big job sorry for a bunch of questions just never thought I'd be in this thing so quick I've learned my lesson with certain pumps to say the least. Also since it's got them two gears on the cam how do you line those up an the lower oil pan can I get that out with motor in the truck yet again sorry for a bunch of questions

Save yourself the grief and pull it out,on a stand you can inspect everything.

What cp3 pump were you running? I'm sure it's happened before, but I've never personally seen those gears get damaged.

Forgot to get back on here but it's an industrial injection 120 cp3 this is the second time it's went my luck I guess. I was really hoping I didn't have to pull the motor.

I'm not quite sure how to upload pics but if someone told me I could maybe post it up for you guys.

Was just curious again is there a way I can pull this timing cover with the engine still In I just don't have the things needed to pull the motor out? Thanks in advance guys

Maybe a dumb question but if it saves me time is it a possibility tearing my water pump off putting my snap on scope up through there checking if everything looks okay which I very highly doubt just take an try an pull the pan to get the metal from the gear out?
