I flushed my block and water/coolant got all over my timing cover. Should i be concerned or will the gasket be ok once it dries out?

Just curious. Do people have a good method to keep water out from on top/behind timing cover when the water pump is out?

Generally, if it's keeping oil IN it will keep water OUT. The outside of an engine is pretty much waterproof...like for winter etc. unless it's UNDER water. :lecture:

The only way in should be either the exhaust, intake, or pcv ports. Everything else should be water proof

This is a non issue. Drive it, it will dry out and be fine.
