Head gasket + timing chain replacement.

The kid and I started out to replace the weeping head gasket.

When we got it apart I found the chain was stretched and already on position #3.

We've got a new timing set complete with slides and tensioner, new gaskets and are ready to put it back together.

Are there any tricks, tips or pitfalls I need to be aware of on the re-assembly?

Great stuff, thanks!

I only wish the engine was on the stand.

It's still in the car with the oil pan on it.
