Re: Timing Belt Change Data Points - and Thanks to QListers!

My apologies to Adam (LOACESQ@aol.com) who suggested the allen wrench lock
in his post of August 10. I mistakenly attributed this idea to Doug Q. It is
a great idea, Adam, and is a time saver over the flywheel bolt or the rope
in cylinder, neither of which will also lock the cam wheel.

I sure wish I could take credit for this one, but I borrowed the 2084 tool
from
Stott Hare to do my t-belt job.  -dq
