Yes the whole assembly has to come off, the gaskets are made in many thicknesses but just paper, and attached to the back of the plate are the cam followers takes about 3 or 4 inches of straight back to get these clear, push tubes go in them

I had the same problem on my 99 N-14 C+. This is the reason I got rid of mine, bad design. The ONLY way to fix this is to remove the compressor and fuel pump. The whole valve train and jakes need to come off. Then you need to get lucky and find the part number on the old deteriorated gasket to get the correct thickness one. If you cant, its a crap shoot which thickness you need. The wrong thickness will make it impossible to get timed, and then need to be taken all apart again to try another thickness. In the end you can have Cummins do it at about $1500. Just to fix a leaky gasket.

cant you just MIC the old gasket an go offthat measurement there cant be that much of a difference to distrupt cam timing from paper crush?
-
All three rocker boxes could have different thickness gaskets as well, so just keep that in mind. Overhead adjustment are not that hard on them.
-
yea but pulling off the air compressor and pump assembly is
-
Yea and its always the front hardly ever the back two.

you mean the funky curved wrench to get to the fuel pump blts on the back end? I have removed a pump but never air compressor. does anything come off timing when you remove the compressor? or can it be reinstalled without having to retime the front cover like the cats and detroits.
