I know this is a months-old post, but I have a similar leak that I need to address. The coolant appears to be coming out around one of the timing cover bolts. I have read some posts around the 'net that talk about the bolts being corroded and snapping off, causing MUCH trouble when performing this repair. Anything I can do to help prevent such a catastrophe? I'm assuming Dusten completed his without issue or he would have posted about it here. My truck is a 3.0, any gotchas I need to be aware of?

Also, thanks to Don for the tip about the Felpro gasket kit with crank sleeve!
