Just to make sure, are the oil pump bolts tty as well?? I'm over an hour
away from any dealership, a single parent father that works 6-7 days a week
as well so free time is limited for running for parts and want to make as
few of trips as possible. I already have a new bolt or the timing sprocket
and the machine shop charged me 40 bucks to machine crank for AAZ sprocket.
Just a guy who works out of his garage, he was doing babbot bearings for a
model A when I arrived there!
