Harry:

I've developed a tendency to follow the instructions completely the first time I do something -- saves trouble in the end. If I find I can do things differently later, that is fine, but I would, for instance, hate to have to do the IP R&R twice because the timing slipped too much to set it properly!

Hopefully someone else has done this particular job before and can enlighten us -- I have a small oil leak on mine I would like to fix -- cars that drip oil irritate me!

Good luck! It is only a mechanical process, however complicated it may be!

Peter
