Getting ready for tomorrow. Since I am working from home, right now, I have an additional one and a half hours to work on my stuff. Things should fall together nicely over the next couple of days.
Probably needs Driven break-in oil. I might have some left over after my build.
Speaking of which, I completed most of the bank #1 cam install today.
Put a bag over it so dirt would be less likely to find the grease. I ran out of steam before I could complete the cam cover installation.
It's clear bank #1 tensioner pads are newer than bank #2. This is consistent with the cam deviation numbers I saw before the engine needed to come apart.
Bank #2 cams ready for lube and installation into the head. Should be able to tackle that tomorrow. Might even be able to seal up the two cam covers, if I don't get worn out from a hard day of Webex meetings.
Thanks Bill. I wasn't in the groove today. Kind of pissy. Little things would irritate me, and constantly having oil and grease on my hands made it even worse. Had to stop before I did something extra stupid.
It's coming along. Just need to remain focused and take things slow. Have the next steps cued up on the DVD to duplicate what I did on bank #1 today, so I can do the same on bank #2 tomorrow.

This must be the wisdom that comes with age. When I was younger, I always hung in there until I did something extra, extra stupid. Now, not so much.
