Hello, again. I have finally scraped together most of the parts (thanks scottmcphee) I thought may be necessary to do the head-gasket job....and have already taken the valve cover and air filter assemblies off... I have loosened the turbo supply line going to the oil filter tower at the oil filter tower...(I think the rest will come out as a unit together with the turbo and manifolds. Taken the rear hose off for the cooling system and ripped it.

I have cleaned the area under the valve cover and the holes for the head bolt tool. I loosened all the fuel lines to the injectors...I have marked the timing chain and gear and cam.with paint marker. I also decided to zip tie the chain to the cam sproket.

I am a little worried about the timing going out. Is there a specific position the timing needs to be at? or can it just be marked where it is and put back to the same spot after reassembly?? Thanks
