First off my kdp just fell out, minutes before I was actually going to drill and lock it.. Now the damage is done. Does anyone have the parts and part numbers to do the job right ? Like the gaskets, new cover any or all related gaskets that I will need. Since I am going to be in there I might as well tab the new cover to make sure there is no way for the new pin to fall out. I was going to just pound in a new dowel, tab and weld the old cover still on the truck but I think that is not the best way to go... Does anyone have pics of the wooden dowels or tools to hold in the tappets ? What is the best way to do the tappets ? I might as well replace the front seal as well as it is leaking a bit.

I'd just buy a new case unless the crack is very minor.
See the extent of this typical crack, it would be very difficult to weld without removing the case, might as well replace it at that point. The non-visible from the ourside part of the case against the engine almost always cracks too.

 

Sorry to hear about your KDP.
As far as the timing cover goes, there is no gasket. Use silicone for that. I just did my timing cover. I don't know about the other pieces though.
