    Hi All,

    I have a 1950 cj3a with a l134 motor I am trying to restore. There appears to be oil leakage around the the timing chain cover. I want to pull the cover and check the chain, clean up everything, install new gaskets etc. The problem is after 2 hours I cannot find a single video or guide on removing the time chain cover. I assume that with the jeep in gear you remove the pulley nut, and then use a puller to pull the pulley off, then remove the nuts around the edges finally clean up etc. I can find videos on replacing the chain, if needed, but nothing on the cover. I just want to be sure that I don't damage something doing this incorreclty, is this procedure the correct one or could someone provide the correct steps...

    Thanks Again for your help

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    No chain.
    Gear driven.
    Unless a very early military engine has been swapped in.
    FYI.

    Thanks for the info. I had no idea that it was gears, learning more everyday. Now I am not sure what to call the cover on the very front of the engine with the drive pulley coming out. Pardon my ignorance but I don't want to damage anything, are the instructions to remove that cover over correct? I just cannot find anything on it at all....

    Thanks ardan

    FYI, I finally found a video that covers this if anyone else needs this info. The video shows everything I was wanting to know.

    If need search you tube for "
