it would, indeed. I dont know what my fear of timing the IP is all about, never done it before.

today I removed the camshaft and left reference markings to the chain after setting the #1 to TDC. Thats FSM and the best I can do. As long as I dont move the pistons from here on and the IP doesn't move, I should be able to do a straight swap.... right? If not, I'll learn how to time the IP.

I have read about the drip method - it seems very faulty - any suggestions on preferred methods?
