Mike, Remove only the two bolts on each side of the sump to timing cover and start prying near the top of the cover. I always reuse the rubber half moon that is in the timing cover as it will make it easier to install the new timing cover. Once the old timing cover is removed cut the old pan gasket flush with the face of the block. Cut your new pan gasket to match the bottom of the timing cover. Use 3M weather strip adhesive to glue the used half moon rubber into the timing cover and then the corners of the new pan gasket to the cover. Wait for the glue to dry and then add a dab of silicane sealer to the face of block where the timing cover will meet and take two Philips screw drivers to go through the cover into the bolt holes on the block face applying downward pressure and seat the cover to the block. Make sure the alignment dowl sleeves stay in the block and not in the back of the old cover. This should work for you. Good job !
