I'm working on the list but the Timing Cover Gasket Set, a Drill, Tap, and
some RTV are pretty much all you need.
I'll dbl-check on that though....
The Milodon Gear Drive runs about $320, won't "stretch" over time, and is
VERY reliable on cam timing fluctuation. I've never heard of a True
Dbl-Roller Timing Chain reducing the amount of power since it has roller
bearing on the actual links...unlike a standard replacement dbl-row chain.
