>boy! that was quick!<

I wish you'd tell my wife that *or maybe she already knows ;-)* ! It took me four 8-9 hour days, back to back. That's not including the time to get all the parts, tools, and a lot study time! I really did work slow though. I ended up leaving the engine in and took a suggestion to really clean the engine first (smart!). Maybe this accounted for the time, I don't know, but I couldn't get hold of an engine stand and honestly, I was a bit scared to take it out. Maybe next time:) Anyway, I'll work on some notes/observations that aren't in the archive already. Joel, thanks again for all the info!

tony ..my machine and I are now one...
