Looks like an engine again. Woohoo.

My son helping with the assembly of cam towers.
Days work. Ordered new idler sprockets so on to other activities, cleaning shroud, cleaning up trans, replacing the exhaust studs.



My wife torquing the cylinders / cam towers

I might also suggest keeping the cam chains somewhat taught against the intermediate shaft gears. I've had a chain slip off before and it was a pain to get it back on.

I've never worked with the engine on my belly like this. Does it make it any easier?

Hope I'm not too far behind you. Looks great!

Heinz911 - She was torquing to take the solder measurement, not final assembly.
Afterburn549 - Motor is a stock 3.0L. I had a chain tensioner fail and shaved some aluminum off of the chain box internal oil (?) shelf while breaking a number of idler sprocket teeth. I sent the cooler to pacific oil cooler. New engine harness from Timmy2 on this board. That's it.
Tharbert...does your pic come out sideways on you screen? Haha
I am excited to get back on the road. Will do on the chain tension. Thank you all.

I love when the stars align and I actually get help. Tara replaced one side of the ball joints on our '86 Jag while I did the other side. She's a gear head. Pretty cool! Good luck with the refresh. Cheers, Mike.
