OK, so here's the situation. The car is sitting for several years without it. Can I verify that the chain hasn't slipped by lining up dots on the camshaft sprocket when #1 is at TDC, or something along those lines? I don't have a manual for it yet. Actually, my c900 manuals should be accurate enough for a 99 Turbo for a lot of it, shouldn't they? Thanks for the reminder about keeping it in until installed, I seem to remember screwing that up once (having the tensioner pop all the way out before I was ready). Fun times... Thanks, Dave Hinz
