O-ring replacement on the IMS cover..?

Along with replacing the three seals around the flange parameter, you also need to replace the center bolt seal and use green wicking Loctite on the center bolt threads.

Thanks Jeff,

I will ask BYProdriver to see if he has the cam locking tools, before I proceed with this project.

How easy would be to get true TDC without the notched front pulley?

Depends upon what pulley you have on the engine; some are marked, others are not and pose a problem.
