Installation Tool Not Included.
This listing is for the wear plate and sealant only. The mounting tool is required to properly set the plate and is not included here. If you need the complete kit with the installation tool, order the complete TCRK73 kit with tool instead.

The DieselSite DS:TCP73 is a replacement plate and sealant for the 7.3L Power Stroke timing cover repair system - for customers who already own the installation tool from a previous kit. It includes one bronze wear plate and one package of sealant. The mounting tool is not included and must be reused from your original kit.

Buy this if...

You already own the DieselSite installation tool from a previous TCRK73 kit and need a replacement plate and sealant.
You are doing a second 7.3L timing cover repair or installing a preventative plate on another engine and have the tool on hand.

Do not choose this if...

You do not already have the installation tool - the plate cannot be properly set without it. Order the complete kit with tool instead.
Your timing cover has structural damage beyond surface scratches - the wear plate repairs the sealing surface, not cracks or broken casting.

Verify before ordering...

Confirm you have the DieselSite installation tool from a previous kit before ordering this plate-only listing.

What Comes in This Listing

1 bronze wear plate
1 package of sealant

Installation tool is not included. The mounting tool from your original TCRK73 kit is required and must be reused. Do not attempt to set the plate by hand.

Why a Plate Replacement Makes Sense

If you have already repaired one 7.3L timing cover with the DieselSite kit and own the tool, this listing gives you a cost-effective way to do a second repair or preventative installation without purchasing the full kit again. The bronze wear plate provides a better surface for the pump gear than the original timing cover material, which improves pump efficiency and flow - a benefit that applies on repaired and undamaged covers alike.

For a first-time installation without the tool, the complete TCRK73 kit with installation tool is the correct order.

Installation Instructions

Review the DieselSite PDF installation guide before starting the repair. The process includes an overnight cure step that must not be skipped before the tool is removed and the pump is reinstalled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click or tap a question below to expand the answer.

Does this listing include the installation tool?

No. The DS:TCP73 includes the bronze wear plate and sealant only. The installation tool is not included and must be reused from a previous kit. If you need the complete kit with the installation tool, order the TCRK73 complete kit instead.

Can I set the wear plate without the installation tool?

No. The mounting tool is required to properly position and set the bronze wear plate at the correct depth. Setting the plate by hand will not achieve correct placement. If you do not have the tool, order the complete TCRK73 kit which includes it.

Will this plate work as a preventative install on an undamaged 7.3L timing cover?

Yes. DieselSite recommends this plate as a preventative measure on a fresh build. The bronze surface also provides better pump gear contact than the original timing cover material, improving pump efficiency and flow. If damage ever occurs after installation, only the plate needs to be replaced - not the cover.
