Whew. Well I've had a couple of hours to chill and
I've got EB's web page bookmarked...I feel a little
better now. I've got the 25th-28th off, I was planning
on camping but now I guess I'll be wrenching. Good use
of vacation for me...not so good for the wife though.
I think I'll get a timing kit w/ steel backed guide and
a new cover for peace of mind. For a hundred bucks or
so that looks a lot better to me than plunking down a wad
of cash right now for a whole new motor. I spent some
time today degreasing the outside of the motor (at least
a layer or two) and will try to catch where it's coming
from. It does leave a few drips on the driveway each night
but not enough leaking to have to add oil yet.
I've got my FSM that I recently picked up on Ebay and I
saved all the write ups I've found on here about the
t-chain job. I've got a couple mechanic buddies at work
(school bus yard) that I'm going to try to talk into at
least watching over my shoulder and keeping me from
messing anything up. Thanks a million for all the support
on here too. If it weren't for sites like this on some of
us (me!) would be to chicken to try some of this stuff.
I'll make sure to keep you all posted on my progress and
if I get screwed up I know where to go for help. Thanks.

Regards,
Indy
