Cool... Thanks for the info! :)
I would have pulled the engine as a whole, but being the dumbass that I am,
I got bored and started pulling things off. I knew I couldn't get an engine
lift till this weekend, but I wanted to get a jump on things while I had the
time.
This rebuild should be fun!!! (sigh...profanity mumble....sigh)
