Are you kidding me??? The darn sequence is different and everything. I did take it down in 5 steps to prevent shifting. I'll print this and insert it in the manual. Thanks FT

That's actually the procedure laid out in manual #32 too.... (the one in the service bulletin)...

Is it possible to insert that page into manual 25, section 3, between pages 24 & 25? I printed it out and stuck it in my copy.

Do you mean in the pdf? If that's what you mean, I believe I may be able to edit the section, or at least copy and paste it from the later manual. Let me try and get back to you.

Ok. Can add the service bulletin into the manual, between page 25 and 26 quite easily... Working on modifying the page directly, not so simple.

I managed to do both. Added the service bulletin in between pages 25 and 26 of that section, and crossed out the wrong torque value and added a note to see the SB over the page... HERE is the link to the modified manual... (remember to save it)

Dang it, just did the same thing this evening. Debating picking up new gaskets and starting over in the morning. Did back them off and retorque. Cliffb, did you start it up yet? Any issues?
