So...heads pressure tested fine after broken timing belt. I'm going to pull the valves and check them with a dial indicator and replace the seals. FSM says I need MD998443 to keep the lash adjusters in place during disassembly. Is there a cheaper alternative? Can I get by without this tool?

I can tell you fasteddy always recommend taking apair of scissors to latex gloves. Just use the finger tips to hold them in place.

Seems like that would work.

If it's like the 2.6 set up I use a bike tube cut into 3" sections or so
