Can't help with your actual question as I've never done the job, but re-post in the X300 section. The right people will see it and be able to help

Cheers
DD

Dillon, You appear NEW, so welcome to our side.

Doug is correct, and HOPEFULLY one of the moderators lurking in the background will move this for you.

I have recently had the timing cover off my 3.2 AJ16 to replace the chains etc, and there was NO seal under that plate. I believe the parts book is kinda wrong??, as the earlier cars (XJ40) had a hydraulic pump mounted in place of that plate and that is where the seal came from. I replaced the gasket on the oval plate on the right side of that triangle plate, and sealed that triangle plate with RTV.

I asked at the time at the dealer, and they assured me the AJ16 had no seal in there, and YES, it sounded odd, but it dont leak, so I dont look for reasons anymore.
