I believe the membership falls into, roughly two different those who would smile, like pmalley when sitting there and those, like myself, who would say WTF am I doing here!!!
I'm sure glad there are quite a few from the first camp to assist those of us in the second category. Keep up the good work. |

Warning from the FSM...
When taking out precombustion chambers from 617,616 engines... YOU MUST REMOVE THE GLOWPLUGS FIRST. or you shear off the end and make a huge mess.

Put your engine on an engine stand so you are not killing your knees and back during this job.

Do a search for posts by konstan , he did a rebuild about 6 months ago. It will have plenty of details for you.
Good Luck !!!!
