You have a 100 no? then there's no need to replace any timing parts, just look and smile sagely as you gaze on the latest generation of parts....there's a reason I bought mine

also plug boss seals, and some 'Loctite 5699 ultra grey' to do it by the book, the cam covers need a spot at each corner where the timing cover meets...


(and if going all the way, the rubber seals on all the camshaft cover bolts, but I doubt you'll need those)
