  1. Okay sounds good will do. I did check the dowel pin and it looked okay it didn’t back out any. Any recommendations on what to do with the dowel pin
  2. Okay thanks I will look at getting one of the gaskets as well. Did you find a good place to purchase them
  3. Do you know if this is any good I have seen some videos on it I used your method from another forum you wrote in I must have just not had enough rtv in the one section. Speaking of which is it possible for the timing cover to warp. Is that a possibility of my problem
  4. That was my bad I am sorry I meant to say the front timing cover is what I was talking about. I saw that there is a gasket you can use from the 12v on the 24v. Sorry about that I just didn’t know if anyone has used it before and is it worth a try with the black rtv
  5. I think I found the leak it looks like it might be coming from the front main seal and I am guessing it didn’t seal correctly so I am going to do it again. Has anyone used the front seal from the 12v on the 24v because I used black rtv last time, I saw some people using it is it worth trying/ dose it work.
  6. The first picture is from under the truck where the timing cover area and the vacuum pump attach
  7. I’m not sure the vp44 was the only thing I paid to have done by a shop. The reason I was unsure about the vp is there is no oil near it everything has been dry around it, is it possible when the fan is on it flings it somewhere else.
  8. I have looked at the tappet cover but it doesn't look to be leaching the reason I have been so confused is it’s on the front of the motor near the Cummins badge on the motor. Then from there down. I just did a whole set of seals on the timing cover.
  9. Hi, I was woundering if anyone can help me diagnose a oil leak it started after I had my vp44 replaced on a 2000 5.9. It is just pouring oil out fromm some where on the front of the motor on the drivers side I have tried cleaning the motor to see where it’s coming from. I have already replaced the front seal the crank seal and I have rebuilt the vac pump. I looked around the vp44 checking for a leak but it is dry all the way around is there something I am missing. Thank you
