I received everyone's payments and will be shipping your tools out in the morning.
Thanks 02SCVette,
We spent alot of time finding the right materials that would work for what we wanted in the tool as well as alot of trial and errors. With the included directions followed for the use of the tool the swap will be a breeze. (As a side note I am also in the Quality Field with a major Automotive Supplier which is pretty cool)
Thanks,
Tim

Hey Tim,
I used to work in the automotive quality field too. Great field to work in and it can be pretty challenging.
I've read the instructions you supplied with the kit and I have some questions before I start on this. I'll be using your 2nd method with the air fitting. Should I manually rotate the engine to get the cylinder I'm working on close to TDC before applying the air or just let the air rotate the cylinder to that position? Also, is it best to work in a particular order like following the firing order or does it not matter?
Thanks,
Mike

Are you sure you used the supplied hardened nut and lubed the nut and stud BEFORE putting the nut over it? John
