Agreed. ...except for that one pesky bracket bolt that you need to get from underneath!

are you guys talking about a bolt that holds the blower on the bracket? I mean what is the problem, that you hafta take the belly pan off to get to it....

In context of doing a TB/WP job (which was the reference "difficulty factor") I don't see this as a big deal. I am just happ Tim used a heathly 9/16 bolt for this application. I have had it with allen head cap bolts on this engine....

Awww, I know it isn't thaaat bad. But as someone pointed out recently, I just need to bitch about something.

Needing to tighten the bolt one flat at a time is what bothered me about it, but you are old and patient, so I understand that would not be an issue for you.

Hey Gretch, in reference to your pic showing the I/C to oil vent system line clearance, (where it looks like the hose is pinched between the I/C and the intake) why not just turn your Adel clamp upside down???? It "looks" like that would raise the line up high enough to prevent the pinch. (not critiquing, just trying to help)

Try a box end ratchet wrench. I am old, but I wasn't born yesterday......

Chris, it might work, I will try it.

Thanks.
