Sorry, was out of town. Downloading e-mail now.
Nope, no such shortcut. As far as the gaskets and other such "to be
replaced" stuff, the only thing that comes to mind is the EGR filter, which
is NLA (no longer available). I have cleaning instruction for the EGR at
http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/EGRFIX.html. That page was written for
someone ho was doing a complete EGR overhaul, but may suit your "what else
should I do" urge.
Best of luck,

My Agenda: Vanquish Suburban Sprawl.
My Methods: Revitalize mature urban towns. Champion mass transit and fast
Internet service. Demand replacement of archaic, "separationist" zoning
laws with neo-traditional mixed-use zoning.
The Result: Exceptional living/working alternatives; restrained sprawl; our
children inherit walkable, beautiful, interlinked towns. Find out more at

Thanks for the reply. It is obviously NOT the answer I was hoping for
though. I wanted a "If you buy this $5.00 magic bolt teleportation tool you
can take it off without removing all that crap" answer (no such luck).
Apart
from being time consuming would you classifty this as an easy job (Remember
I'm new at this)? I'll go through my Bentley to figure out the gaskets
involved here, anything else I should replace while I'm doing this? I'll
probably at least do the v-belt.
Thanks,
