Greetings Bill,

Didn't figure I could do the IP removal without the oil filter housing in place, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Doesn't look like that big of a problem at any rate. Should basically set the dampner housing to the correct 24 degrees before removing IP and reset teeth on IP pump and then reinstall and everything should be quite close to timing. Re drip test pump and tighten bolts. Nothing that a few three hours probably can't fix. I can replace that leaky shut off vacuum valve while I have the IP off.

Thanks Bill,

Charles
