Well dawg messed up my Easter Sunday afternoon by strong arming me into pulling off my exhaust to check the condition of my cam tensioners.[:@] They are fine, thank you very much. Now since I wasn't planning to do this, I don't have a new gasket for the reinstallation of the cover. Now for a $5.00 gasket it is going to cost me about $15.00 to run up to the dealer and buy this part. I can't make it there until friday at the earliest coz they are closed by the time I would get there after leaving work.[:@]

Now dawg, being the HDF parts guru/Dear Abby/Home Depot el cheapo mod-ifier/hand holder that he is, is also a parts guy at his local dealership. So I figure with his discount and all and it's because of him that I need this gasket, he can send me one for short money. I will be watching the mailbox anxiously.[sm=mail.gif]

Damn, that front tensioner looks better than most I've seen with 20k on them....do you even ride it?? How did you make out prying up the rear tensioner and using a dental mirror?
