OK, a little update.

I'll try to get some...

Hi All,
Well, I completed a swap in my OM617 to 1993 Toyota 4x4 pickup two weeks ago and have been driving it a little bit here and there.

I realize that, I rarely get any parts from the dealer. I was just hoping to get it back together this weekend, that's all. Yes, I should probably do a full set of valve stem seals while I'm at...

Thanks for the hint about "dropping the valve", that's exactly what I was looking for to determine tdc. I've done this with a screwdriver down the spark plug hole before, but didn't think I could do...

Interesting, but doesn't look possible with my setup. Whunter tends to agree with his tutorial, that the "inner lip of the seal should have a proper seating on the spacer ring"
