    Who installs "your" tires?

    My Local Discount Tire Dealer had my tires and tubes shipped to them for the same price, installed my stems and mounted them for free. I even purchased replacement insurance. I'm sure not all stores can do this , but they did a great job.

    Timing cover fill of oil and timing off

    Thank You Mike V., I just have a timing problem, it jumps time, I think the Cam is not engaging the the upper shaft fully, it has a new cam and screw @. The cam is moving both forward and backward, I hit the upper shaft with a tool to rough it up but may need to replace.

    Timing cover fill of oil and timing off

    When I went to start my S/W I had to pull my lever down all the way to start. SO I went to retime the system. When I removed the timing pin I found oil on the end on pin. This car had not be started in a year. I think that the gaskets are all shot. Not a good engine guy.
