You are a brave soul..

Take your time and also many pictures as you go for reference later on when it is reassembly time.

And. . . read the manual before going on to each next step.

But if it was in that context, the answer is always yes.

Man this is fun. I love that you dove right into a job without knowing what you are doing. Most wouldn't have the *****. Good job, sir. Next time around, you'll have even more confidence. And the knowledge is priceless.

Thanks for the guidance and support y'all. Didn't get much done yesterday cuz wifey was sick; had to take care of her and of the kids. But all 4 rockouts inserts are in. Also cleaned up all the old gasket materials. Will put in the new tappets today if I get the chance to.

Quick question: do the tappet holes face inwards (towards the engine) or outwards (towards the brake pedal)?

I pulled out the tappets and put in the new ones and got ready to bolt on the anti-rotation device when I noticed them darn lil' holes...

(yes I checked the FSM before asking the above)
