+2, thanks! It would be nice to know what machine shop he actually used. I live in S.D. as well and would be interested in knowing.

+3 - A really good write up on the subject.

It seems that this was done before most of the other "more successful" ticker repairs, and so the author was breaking new ground. Perhaps the new guides are a bit of overkill? But who could blame him?

In retrospect, most of the rebuilds which just used the stock guides and new style seals are purring along contentedly. Not sure if they were using different style of valves or not?

But this is an awesome reference on the procedure anyway. I've saved t on my hard drive (so hopefully I'll never need it!)

Maybe Slap only meant for admins to see the PDF?
No. I thought if I posted (which I have permission to do) all the registered users would be able to see it, but guests wouldn't. Limited distribution as it were. Since that didn't work out I posted the file to server, link above. Happy reading to all.

Thank you very much Slappy, that is just what I was looking for!
