thanks for the info guys, I will buy the chiltion manual today. I cleaned the engine labled all the hoses, removed the intake manifold and valve cover on sunday. the only problem was that dang valve cover, who invented those round nuts under the locking nuts? I spent two hours trying to figure out why the valve cover would not come off. hitting it with rubber malat, hitting it with wood block cutting the gasket with double edged razor.
I think it was the third beer that told me to use needle nose plers on the round thing that did not look right.

Here is a ? on the front of my engine above the oil pan I have a bunch of threaded holes with no bolts in them are they suppose to be empty?

timing belt, exhaust manifold and head off tonight 7 days untill the deadline.
