    Hi, All!
    In the fall, I'm thinking of starting work on replacing the valve lifters,
    timing gear/chain, valve seals, etc., and possibly replacing the oil pump
    if I don't have to remove the engine to get to it.
    I want to stay with American-made parts, which manufacturers do you
    recommend? I'm not looking for high performance parts, just reliable.
    Thank you!
    Bye,
    Renton5

    Just curious, is it possible to remove the camshaft with the engine in?
