I've considered whether I could mount a light and USB webcam under the hood and 
record them via laptop.  A recording of just the manual lift-the-piston button 
might not capture enough displacement though.  Might have to do it with air 
cleaners removed.  Not sure how much I like that idea though it might be okay 
for a short while.

Exactly what I did.  Wished I'd known more before I called.  And Joe C. has 
what might be called a somewhat curt-o manner which discourages free 
Socratic-style question and answer dialogue.

Personal trigger factor here, not meant to disparage Joe C. at all:  I am 
delighted when I find an expert on a subject and I will gladly overpay for that 
expertise.  However I expect one benefit of that expertise to be helping me 
avoid the sort of mistakes, extra expenses, and long delays which I would 
experienced if I'd just done the job myself.
