Good morning.

I am interested in enlisting someone to help me replace my timing chain and set proper injection pump timing (1982 300cd, ~140k, erratically documented past maintenance history). I am doing this as a "preventive maintenance" item, as well as to learn how to do it, rather than for any specific (known) mechanical problem. I feel that I am a reasonably competent, interested driveway mechanic, but have never done this job and don't want to foul it up.
If there is anyone near Winston-Salem, NC who would like to enjoy the upcoming spring weather some day and help me work through this, I would be obliged. I would certainly be willing to compensate you for your time with any reasonable combination of food/fuel/beer/cash that we can agree on. My work/time off schedule tends to fluctuate, so we would just have to work to coordinate an acceptable date.
Thanks for your consideration. You can PM me, and I will also check back here from time to time.
