The only other words of caution I have heard are to make sure that the cranksnout is centered in the hole of the timing cover correctly, or the seal will wear prematurely and you will get a leak (I've never had this problem, but other people have). Also, if you replaced your timing chain, be absolutely sure that you did not install the original spacer in front of the cam gear if your new gear had the spacer cast on the gear. The guy who owned my 67 Galaxie before me did this, and it pushed the camshaft back about .5 inch...enough to cause the lifters to take large chunks out of the lobes next to them. This may not be a problem if your timing gears have already been changed since original.
This thread, so far...
