Bill,
Nice to hear from someone in the Mohawk Valley.
First you have to take the cover off the engine. To do that you first
must remove the fan plus pulley. When you get the cover off, push the
old seal out with a drift. Replace the seal with a new one and then
replace the timing chain cover with new gasket. Why you are there, you
my as well replace the timing chain tensioner and check to see if the
timing chain is not too stretched. Replace chain if necessary.
Of course, You will have to remove the front apron, radiator to get at
the fan and the timing chain cover.
Good luck,
