haha! I wasn't trying to offend you 92! I was just saying our boats are similar. Hawaii is -10gmt in saipan it's +10 gtm so if I'm behind in hawaii but ahead in saipan. So going from hawaii to saipan I lose two days (leave 24-arrive 26) but going from saipan to hawaii I gain a day (leave 24 arrive 24) Yeah time travel gets old.
I was talking to my dad (not a gear head and has no appreciation for it, total think tank) and telling him about what i'm doing. he said "you better not screw up" I said "hey you should be thrilled about this, I'm saving up to 1400 buck in labor alone" He said "that's nice"
So those foil looking passages are NOT supposed to be Plugged? I wonder how my truck was running so well with them clogged?
Thanks for the template lumpy. I have another timing cover so I'm gonna take every screw out of the old one and put it in the corresponding hole on the new one. I figure that's the smart thing to do.

I am for sure! I pray that the crank pulley doesn't give me a hard time. I don't have a puller so I'm worried now.

here's what i did, not sure it's the right thing to do. i took the breaker bar handle and did a little here and a little there and little more here and a little more there until i saw it moving and then i was able to walk it off with my hands without damage.

Sounds like a plan! What keeps haunting me is the vaccum tubes I gotta reconnect. I have a feeling that is going to come back and haunt me... Just wait I'll be posting a bunch of "where does this tube go to?" "where do I plug this?" How much more do you have to go 92?

LOTS!
i've been talked into taking my valves apart.....oh well, would regret not doing it.
I took lots of pictures, but i'm sure i'll need a picture of something i didn't think of.
cost is prohibitive right now....even buying a G-D $20 tool is a humongous burden.

ok so I got the timing cover off. the driver's side guide is gone! the part that rubs the chain broke off completely, just the part that attaches to the front remains. I'm having a hard time taking the pan out. I guess I didn't get the diff low enough. I gotta figure out how to get it lower (read 92's oil pan thread again)
My goals for today:
- get the oil pan off
- clean the oil pan.
-clean timing cover surface.
If time permits-
Start reassembling timing components and cover

you didn't take off the crossmember yet right?..maybe that makes a difference...i wasn't sure if it would or not.
can you get it off but not out or not off at all?

I got the pan off but it's not going anywhere. The front diff is blocking it. I think I gotta take that cross member off. Looks difficult to remove too..

take the jack and jack up the diff and be careful NOT TO DRIVE IT INTO THE PAN!!!
that should likely remove it from that rounded brace part......then with an LFS (little sledge) apply some downward convincing to the area just above the yellow arrow,,,,,,that's what I did.
