Replacing the timing chain and gears

That sounds good, thank you Roy. Your diagram clearly shows the gaskets for the water pump, the timing cover to block, and the crank seal, but what precautions do I need to take when I put it back together to make sure I do not get an oil leak from the oil pan or from the oil pan/timing cover joint? When I separate them (even if I am careful), am I likely to tear the oil pan gasket? Is there a gasket or seal I should replace between the the pan and cover or do they just butt together? Just apply RTV?

I had difficulty getting the timing marks on the cam and crank gear lining up. It seems like the cam gear is about half a tooth past bottom dead center. The left side of the chain (passenger side) is tight and straight as an arrow almost touching the center "slack adjuster thing: that has two bolts. The right side looks like it has slack, perhaps too much.
Is it important that each side have the same amount of slack?
Does half a tooth "off" present a problem?
When I took the old timing chain and gears off there was a lot of "saw dust" (little grindings/shavings) for lack of a better term where the chain was tight on the left side and had worn the bottom left corner of that "slack adjuster thing" off. Is it possible to lift the engine enough to remove the pan, replace the oil pump, and clean the pan?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them. What about my oil pan question? Do you have any insight for that?
Thank you,
Doug

Just to double check with you. This is a 3.4 engine. The one that goes in the traditional forward/backward position, not side to side (transverse?). I am trying to figure out how the AC compressor and bracket are in the way. Not doubting you but just trying to get my head around what I am up against if I try this.
Thank you,
Doug
