Is there a pictorial for the cam tower o-ring procedure?
I get the impression that it's not a huge hairy deal, but this will be my deepest dive into the motor so far and I'd like to have a good idea of what I'm doing before I start taking stuff apart. I've looked around on the site and on the intarwebs and haven't found anything. It's probably the one procedure Dwayne never tackled!
If anyone knows of a good visual tutorial, I'd appreciate it!

Hey Wayne,
I think you linked to the original write-up, from OCT 2011 - the one without your contribution.
There's a Revision from NOV 2012.

Thanks very much, guys. As an addendum, there are a few things to add to 'Parts' and 'Tools'. They are obvious in the text, but should have been added to the list at the beginning.
Parts:
-Tensioner Roller Assembly Pivot Bolt
Tools:
-C Clamp (for holding timing belt to left/driver's cam gear)
-ruler, or tape measure, or tool for measuring gaps (to measure belt deflection)
-Large flathead or Phillips screwdriver (for the radiator drain bolt)

Hey Dave. I'm glad you're finding it useful. I actually have a revised version that was completed last November. I've been trying to get it linked to this thread but the Adminstrators' emails that I tried would not accept such a large (17MB) file. The revised version has a few spelling corrections and additional things I've learned, but it also has a parts list and a new chapter on changing the cam o-rings written by Wayne Strutt. If you haven't put the gears back on yet you might want to take a look at that chapter. If you want the revised version just let me know.

Below is the link to the revised version of the write-up. Thanks, Brad, for compressing it. I'd have added it to the original post, but it appears that is no longer possible.
