Things were going really nicely. The clutch came out somewhat smoothly-- we had to only drill out one pressure plate bolt. All the flywheel bolts came out fairly smoothly.

I had adjusted all of the valves with Chris' help. Thanks again Chris!!! How did your weekend at the track go?

We had a small hiccup on Saturday as I had bought used carrrera tensioners and we didn't have a press to insert a pin into the tensioners to hold them in the depressed position. On Sunday I pressed them into place and inserted pins.

Unfortunately, on Sunday I had a mental lapse and decided I would wait until the guys came over to insert the tensioners. So what did I do in the meantime? I decided to check my valve setting. Big mistake as I had forgotten that I could not move the engine from TDC.

So now I have to reset the cam timing. I have decided that setting the cam timing is too big a job for me and I am going to take the engine to Mantis tomorrow.....
