It seems on pg. 17 of my 'How to rebuild your Nissan/Datsun OHC engine book', there is a photo and a few paragraphs dealing with 'the most important tool' for working on an L-series engine. the WOOD BLOCK. There is also advice about attaching a retrieving wire or cord to it. Somebody didn't read the book.

I was afraid to clik on that posting just based on the title "PO gave me Wood". But since there was no warning at the top that the posting was for adults only, I kept reading. Haha

Yeah sure...we know why you clicked on that...

Whenever I use a wooden wedge, I drive a screw into the top of it and fasten a length of wire so that if it does drop, I can yank it out. It also serves as a reminder to remove before flight.

Get your minds out of the gutter!

That's how you hold the tensioner back to keep the chain in place without removing the timing cover

Did you check the pick-up screen for pulp?

No pulp. I can't find any trace other than inside the timing cover.
