I tend to learn things the hardway sometimes, besides I like to see what makes things tick.... quite literally in this case. I haven't checked any of the clearances yet.... probably because I didn't think to do it. The valve cover gaskets are the re-usable type. I can attest that the # 6 cover bolt is a serious pain the the . That was the only bolt that was tough though. Also, taking the power packs out really makes removing the valve cover easy. After that brain fad I decided it was time for a sammich and a Gatoraide!.

I was following Bart's wright up on the timing belt install and his instructions were 180 degrees from your instructions. Bart's instructions have you to align the green mark on the pully with the mark on the oil pump and the dotted line with the notch on the back of the pulley.
