Now, KLXD, you know I saw the sarcasm in Jason_'s post. It was only an opening to see who rolled eyes and got white knuckles on their left hand on the steering wheel while the right hand turned the ignition to Start that first time upon completion of a TB job.
And, I bet Jason_ has some white paint and ether.....

Paint cans upside down will start my old school Cummins in my Trojan 3000 loader in a pinch too. White is optional.

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.
BTDT.

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?
I can do Jason one better. It would be a 2 part thing and require our participation.
- OP: Go ahead and try starting your engine with the T/B removed to see if it runs better.
- TDI Club: Monitor the For Sale section for a scream'en deal on a non runner complete with extra heads.

You should read it to help you decide if you CAN do the job in the first place.
