Timing cover question?
Is it an easy undo the 5 screws and replace cover? Or do I need a gasket or might any parts come out?

short answer no, it has nothing in it, old days they had breaker points, that's why they are called timing cover.

Empty, but use some loctite and torque to specs.

How can you give an accurate answer without knowing what type engine?

5 screws are a dead giveaway as to there is notin behind that cover but a sweet stash spot. 2 screws and you got guts back there.

Well I guess that would have been a GOOD question to ask first. But I guess sometimes I just get stuck knowing what I can do with mine and assume everyone else can do the same.

I took the five screws off and just placed the new one right on top of the old one. Some loctie and I was done!
