Spdrun, 'tis a 93, so no end-play concerns. And, in theory, well beyond the theoretical cut off for the dreaded short-nose crank bolt issue, but I'll be replacing rather than re-using the bolt just in case (gonna go ahead and do the timing belt since I have to replace the valve cover gasket and CAS o-ring anyway).
MS, we did get ~ 4-5" of snow, but it was pretty much gone the next day.
kmaysob, that is a right purdy tranny jack, but my "workshop" isn't terribly well suited for putting it to use:
