    You don't need any RTV - all gaskets are reusable.

    And it's totally up to you but the stock cats flow erally good...a "high-flow" cat won't give much if any improvement.

    I forgot to mention that - the dowels go in the oil galleys and ensure the lifters don't drop.

    yup got that part covered. Well im forsure not going to take the radiator off now that i know the cam will comeout with it on. just wondering how much of a pain in the but it is going to be to change the timing chain, that will probably take some patients to do.

    how come that tool was a pain? just because you have to screw it in and out each cylinder or what?

    the cam will come out without removing the radiator? Thats a first for me to hear that. My OBS has to have the rad pulled to remove a cam.
