Question regarding seals/brands & timing belt

[Drew76]

I am south of Ottawa.

How did you find the quality of the gaskets and seals

Quality seemed ok but I guess only time will tell, while the original gasket seemed ok the valve cover bolts are not torqued down very tight it almost seems like its the rubber seals on the bolt washers that dry out and cause the cover to be loose and leak.
Also did the half moons and cam plugs. I put the plug seals in the freezer before I installed them

I'm west of Toronto so you not close, I bought the Schley pulley holders for the TB job and I'm glad I did....

Well I first bought a universal pulley holder kit from Amazon but the one they sent me was used and had some broken studs in the kit, I had 1 month to return it so I tried to use it and I would have easily broken it - my crank pulley had never been off before, I also tried my 1/2" Ingersoll rand air impact gun with my 60 gallon air compressor and it didn't budge.

After the bolt was out the pulley was still locked on the hub and i used the bearing separator as in Tim's how to video to get it off....
