RE: [DMCForum] Re: One nit-picky question



I turned the engine over just to see if the thing would come loose or get
stuck somewhere in the chains. The engine is dry at the moment.

Every time I make a little progress, I have to stop and retrace my steps.
Now I'm gonna hafta take the timing cover off again and replace this damn
washer.

This weekend I got the exhaust system (minus the cat and muffler)
reassembled. I got all confused on the manifolds and ended up taking them
off to make sure I had the correct placement. Them I had some trouble with
the crossover pipe flanges. I thought they went flush to the manifold, but
in reality, they don't. I fished my old photos out to verify that fact
this
morning. So, that's good news on that front.
