        Sup, Good Morning!

        I have to go back to the upholstery shop this morning to have the seat fixed. Once she saw the pictures she was very apologetic and said they would fix it while I waited. It was nice to see such professional follow up at Jim's Upholstery.

        Cheers,

        Jim

          that's what i thought, but a couple of diy's said to do it that...stupid question but i can do two cylinders at a time or is one not quite tdc like the other. Example cylinder 1 is tdc currently nut i know 6 appeared to be as well when i was spinning the block to make sure it didn't seize. Thanks r3v, need this damn car to run today...

                        You should do one at a time and then go through it again. I have done this several times and still find that the second time through I make some minor adjustments. Getting the "feel" of the resistance of the feeler gauge just right is something that takes practice. Good luck with your project it's not that hard to do. BTW, I use a large socket wrench on the crank pulley to rotate the motor.

                        Cheers,
