[QUOTE="MotoMike, post: 1471902, member: 92743"] So: I reassembled the the engine after deciding to do the valve shim changes after all. The engine started up after a few tries and using the WOT technique. PHEW, no timing chain issue. I then proceeded to do a throttle-body synch only to discover a major coolant leak from where the coolant pipe located on top of the engine enters the top of the engine. I had used new O-rings from a kit purchased at Princess Auto. I thought they were the correct size, but apparently not. Can any of you respected gurus give me: 1) the actual correct size of O-rings 2) tips and tricks to use when installing said coolant pipe. [/QUOTE]
