Andy, the real "experience" is replacing your engine after someone M&P'ed it!Loving this Thread....
In defense of Jason_ ............. Mark and Pray, is a term I'd never heard of until joining the club about 15 years ago! I guess that was what I did with the old IDI engines for years as I never had all of the appropriate tools ... never lost an engine!
Funny, I'd venture to say, regardless of the tools and methods used, I feel certain there's a few who say a quick short prayer right before turning the Ignition to Start after doing a TB job..
And, BTW, anyone with "experienced" knowledge of an ALH engine should be able to change the TB via the M&P method, however, the IP pin or appropriate size drill bit would be a significantly important tool.
Or you can "Go For The Gold" and like one guy and replace the head after a timing failure and post here asking how long the lifters should take to pump up and why is his idles extremely rough?Andy, the real "experience" is replacing your engine after someone M&P'ed it!
BTDT.
<facepalm>I read that from part 2 and promptly forgot it since like I said, details don't mean much until I get the big picture. As far as part 3, you're right, I haven't read it yet since it costs money. I will only read it if I end up doing the job.
But if it's not keyed in, then why does part 2 say to remove it )or just to loosen it, can't remember) at one point? That makes no sense to me. How do you then get it back into just the right position? Maybe it doesn't matter as long as the shaft stays put. I have to think about that.
