[V8] TB replacement

[urq]

... if you've got the cam lock plates, why guess?  You know that you will 
have the correct crank/cam timing even if you loosen the sprockets ...

Do you have the service manual?  All I can say is that I found the whole 
process a snap with the service manual and the special tools that were 
called for.  Sure, you can McGuyver a way around it ... and I guess if 
adventure is what you're looking for you can just rip into it and see what 
comes out the other end.  I believe Tony's procedure is in the KB ... might 
as well start there ...
