IMS job half-done - My IMS was perfect when removed.
Just finished the first half of my clutch / IMS job using Pelican Parts' kit and LN Toolkit. I have been following the Pelican directions, so have not locked out the crankshaft but have marked the cams on my single-row, 5 chain 3.2 motor. My rear main seal was leaking, but the IMS seemed perfectly good when pulled. $160 isn't a a lot for insurance I guess, but the whole job seems like a big PITA to replace a good part... not that I can go back now.
Everything has gone well so far. I have the bearing and tool in freezer now, as per Pelican guide. The cams are marked, however I only was able to get to the two exhaust and the back intake cam, so the front intake is not marked (misread which ones should be marked), but am not too worried about this. Any suggestions as far as installation and reassembly?
