Is there a motor mount under the timing chain cover that has to be removed to take off the gasket?

Hello,

You will have to remove the harmonic balancer and belt tensioner before removing the front cover. Motor mount removal is not needed.

I have attached the procedure below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions
Thank you.
