I you do not do this you can crack the flywheel housing ,trust me . The failure of the fibre timing is common the "Celeron" ones ones can be 90 or so years old . The steel crankshaft gear is normally OK and good to go . Before you fit the new timing wheel take a drill and deepen the timing "doke" a little bit makes it easier for the timing pin to engage . I would not bother with aluminium or fancy oversizes just a regular parts house gear will do just fine . Over thousands of miles I have never had a new cheapy one fail (touch wood !!!)

this is all sound advice, I am curious as to why removing only one engine mount bolt on each side....thanks
