After a mishap, which resulted in stitches in my knee
Pulled the sump screen - Nothing in it
Pulled the valve covers and adjusted the valves - A couple were loose by a couple thou...
Pulled the muffler - found where the muffler was contacting the rear tinwork.
Pulled the chain covers
Found that PO mechanic uses some form of gasket compound when installing...
Left tensioner - can't move by hand when pushing/pulling on idler arm.
Right tensioner - can move tensioner about 1/8" on shaft when pushing pulling by hand.
Took tensoners out - found that 2.5mm allen wrench works as a sutible retaining pin. and put them back in after reading the 101 projects book.
Checked play between tensioner and idler. Left one has about .050" play and the right one has .100" play.
Aparently, I have the early idlers. But, can anyone post the measuremens of the widths of the new idler arm????
The sprockets show some wear and there are pits on the left shaft.
I have not checked the ramps yet.... Tomorrow morning... 007 is on in HD
