no larry youre not k/fd. in the past ive done nothing more than he has done in this thread and been ripped for it time and time again. add to that that ive been warned by him and others about religious content in my threads and what will happen if i do. judge me by the same rules you use for others if you dare. budd lol you might ask questions but the problem with you is that once you come up with an answer it is the word of god even when you are wrong and proven so. more religious content from t-bone people. huge difference between you and him budd i am sure i am k/fd by you as i am by stormin moron because i am offensive tom is using the word god in part as an expresive statement you on the other hand ram it down everyones throat. if you want to play pkb at least do it in the correct context. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

do you have to loosen the intake manifold or oil pan for clearance when reinstalling the chain cover 74 w-200. getting the chain cover back on its a really tight fit. smears the gaskets out of place. if you loosen the pan wont that muck up the gasket all the way to the back first offense on this procedure. been lucky for hundreds of thousands of miles on several rides. .
