> Thanks so much Adam! You’ve been a tremendous help for me in this process! I’ll probably swing by around 930-1000am. This will give me time on Monday to get engine back together, provided there’s no other issues, which there shouldn’t be. I can’t thank you enough!

also threw in the chain tensioner tool and a pair of chain sliders. the tensioner tool is used to pretension the main timing chain when setting the cam timing. threads into the side of the head where that large hydro-spring tensioner is, and you turn the crew in until there is zero movement in the chain. going off the spring tension on the stock tensioner is not the best thing.
