I'll be disassembling it this weekend, to see where the leak is on rear cylinder. I got dye penetrant at work, I hope its the head gasket, does anyone know where to purchase a low budget rocker shaft assembly? Heads, chain, gasket set.

Thanks DeanMK.

I was afraid of that. Looks like pull motor, at least it'll be easier to remove components. I didn't want to have to buy a picker and stand yet. Unless someone has a way to do it in vehicle.

Can I replace without taking off the oil pan. Or while it's in the vehicle? Looks like the front seal would keep you from pulling timing cover up off the pan seal, or it would be hard sliding timing cover back on while going across pan gasket? Or am I over thinking it?

Btw 97 4.0 pushrod motor.

I am replacing heads, is there any way to check replace timing parts without pulling motor?
