Ahhh... nooooo.....

Probably should have, huh?


I actually gave it some thought when I was buying stuff, but it's worked perfectly for 200,000+ miles and that thing really makes me nervous - enough that I think I want to trust the original part more than a replacement.

Well, it's a non-interference motor right? At least that's what I've always understood, but NAPA seems to think different. And now that I know how to do it...

You mentioned your key looked pristine.  You are replacing the key and the
bolt when you install it, right??

Thanks again Bill.

Squirted them out with brake cleaner and a rag over the nozzle/hole to 
preven spraying crap. Then sopped them out dry with a bunch of q-tips.

I like putting them on with manifolds installed, saves a bunch of semi
hard to get at bolts and nuts. Maybe recruit a helper. Mop oil out of
head holes, put light oil on the head bolts. No locktite. If you have
pooled oil in the bottom of the head bolt holes you can actually crack
the block when it doesn't compress.
