[QUOTE="Stangra, post: 16141796, member: 193061"] I found it SOOOOO much easier to modify the timing cover on the bench too! I think the MMR OPGs are a good bet, since I was already there I installed MMR crankshaft timing sprocket too. Even after reading many posts about doing the OPGs I didn't realize just how difficult it was going to be to [i]re-install[/i] the lower bolt for the oil pump pickup tube, this might help. I cut a piece of plastic (empty milk bottle) used a cheap paper hole puncher to put a perfect size hole in it and cut a slot to get the bolt into the hole. Bent it about 45* along length for a little rigidity. This inserted between the captive washer & bold head allowed me to align the bolt and feed it into the hole while turning it gently by the threads using needlenose until started. Once started.... WHEEEEW! the rest was easy! Don't forget to put some clean rags underneath in the pan to stop any parts or tools from dropping in![ATTACH=full]1555347[/ATTACH] Since you're replacing anyway, this is a lot easier with the radiator out.
