oh, and post your progress pics.
Words to live by!

Amazon should deliver the dye tomorrow, but they've been running late in the day due to so much holiday shopping. I'm guessing that I will input the dye on Wednesday morning, use the bore scope to confirm our collective opinion that its coming from those two lower timing cover bolts.

I suspect that most of Wednesday will be spent disassembling everything I need to remove to get to the timing cover. Based on my last attempt at removing the oil pan, that may be a Thursday task.

Funny, while I've been dreading starting this project, now I'm itching to get started (and done). Photos for sure as the work progresses.
