Hi Mike,
Taking pictures is always a great idea, but not usually done when you're
trying to get something fixed in a hurry.
I have no time pressures on my rebuild, so I borrowed a digital camera and
took pictures of it, including last nights session with the timing chains.
Hopefully I can post them soon. Some pictures are of the old and new gears
next to each other, so you can see the differences. Others are step by step
as I installed each piece. Others help explain the placement of the chains
on the gears. I'm doing this because of being a novice, and having a lot of
confusion based on trying to make sense out of the manual. It more or less
says "installation is the reverse of dis-assembly". I took it apart months
ago, and forgot the placements of some things.
3 U-20's! Your girlfriend is a saint. My wife won't let me have the whole
garage, and insists on parking her car inside so my rebuild is crammed in a
corner. I shouldn't complain, as half the garage is my frame-off with junk and
parts.
